Creating Coastal Calm: Designing the Sakkii Experience

In a world that moves too fast, Sakkii was imagined as a pause button.

Born from the golden glow of South African summers, Sakkii is more than a towel. It's an invitation to slow down, to reconnect with softness, and to find peace in simplicity. In this post, we take you behind the scenes of the Sakkii design experience—where coastal calm meets quiet luxury.


1. Inspired by Endless Summer

The essence of Sakkii starts with a feeling: the hush of waves, the shimmer of sunlight on saltwater, the scent of warmth. We set out to bottle that mood. Every decision—from fabric to finish—is shaped by this longing for an endless summer.

Our aesthetic leans toward soft pastels, textures that mimic shoreline sands, and tones borrowed from golden hour skies. The goal? To create something that feels sun-kissed and soul-soothing, even when you're far from the coast.


2. Choosing Materials That Feel Like Home

At Sakkii, the fabric isn't just functional—it's foundational. We chose high-performance microfibre for its quick-dry, sand-free qualities, but also for the way it feels against skin: soft, breathable, and light as air.

Each towel is made to wrap you in comfort, whether you're fresh from a swim or simply stealing a quiet moment in the sun. It’s coastal calm, woven into every thread.


3. Thoughtful Design, From Stitch to Scent

Designing Sakkii meant paying attention to the tiniest details. From hand-stitched edges to signature scent sachets included in every order, we created a sensory experience that goes beyond the visual.

Unboxing a Sakkii towel is meant to feel like receiving a postcard from paradise. Soft pastel packaging, handwritten quotes, and the gentle reminder that rest is a ritual, not a reward.


4. A Brand Rooted in Ritual

Sakkii isn’t just about beach days-it’s about creating daily rituals of rest, even in winter. Inspired by slow living, each collection encourages you to romanticize your life: to wrap up in warmth after a cold plunge, to take your towel on a hike, or to bask in golden sun on your balcony.

We believe the everyday can be beautiful. That luxury doesn’t have to be loud. And that your towel can be more than just an accessory-it can be a reminder to breathe.


5. The Community Behind the Calm

Designing Sakkii has always been about connection. That’s why we created the Sakkii Sun Club- a space for those who chase summer, not trends. Members receive early access to drops, exclusive discounts, and invitations to future adventures, from guided hikes to ocean dips.

We’re building more than a brand. We’re building a feeling.


Final Thoughts: Slow Down, Soften Up

Designing Sakkii has been a journey of softness, slowness, and intention. Every element is meant to whisper, not shout. To create space for quiet joy.
