Drawing from these travel experiences, she has created a gorgeous collection that reflects her own rich Brazilian cultural heritage mixed with a European elegance and sensibility.

‘As a young girl I used to spend almost of my weekends at our beach house, and it is true those weekends were amazing, we were always going to the beach, we were windsurfing, sailing; the swimwear becomes such an important part of your wardrobe because you wear it all the time, it becomes your daywear.
’ Sandra Moleirinho

Babajaan is inspired by an idiosyncratic melting pot of exotic influences launched into the world as a luxury Resort collection, consisting of decadent Kaftans and glamorous swimwear shapes, to be worn with sophisticated signature Panama hats.

The special treatment given to many of the fabrics allows for homecare, which means most of the luxury styles are handwashable, taking out the inconvenience of the dry cleaning.
