Nomad Sari Pareo – Rich Blue and Gold Hand Painted Evil Eye Design
Part of our On the Med Collection, this Nomad Sari pareo pairs a rich blue ground with a hand-painted gold evil eye design, a motif carried across the Mediterranean and beyond as a symbol of protection and good fortune. Lightweight cotton keeps it soft against the skin and quick to dry, making it an easy grab for beach days, poolside afternoons or evenings by the water.
Design and Symbolism
The evil eye is one of the most recognisable talismanic motifs in Mediterranean design, traditionally worn or displayed to ward off negative energy. Rendered here in gold on a deep blue ground, it turns a simple wrap into a piece with a bit of story behind it.
How to Wear It
At 81 x 54cm, the pareo is generous enough to tie as a sarong skirt, knot into a simple halter dress, or fold and wear as a headscarf. It folds flat and takes up almost no room in a beach bag or suitcase, so it travels as easily as it wears.
