Hari Mari, the premium sandal brand known for infusing color and comfort into its distinctive flip flop lines, announced today that it’s taking its first step into the world of Women’s apparel with ladies shorts. 

The Ladies BantamKnit shorts are made in the USA with a custom cotton blend for extreme comfort. This performance fabric has increased breathability with four way stretch, a three inch inseam, stretch lined pockets, elastic waistband, and a drawstring closure. 

“We as a brand will always focus on flip flops and sandals but when you’re known for making the most comfortable flip flops on the market, your customers ask for more and it’s exciting to be launching our first ladies shorts as part of that demand,” says Co-Founder Lila Stewart. “We’re also thrilled to have made them here in the USA.” 

The Women’s BantamKnit collection comes in two color options and is exclusively available on HariMari.com. 

ABOUT HARI MARI 

Hari Mari was founded in 2012 by Jeremy & Lila Stewart. The beginnings of the brand were born out of the Stewart’s time spent in Indonesia, where each worked on projects related to improving kids’ lives: Jeremy, making a documentary film on helping kids suffering from hunger & malnutrition in Southeast Asia; Lila, working closely with the American Women’s Association, volunteering for orphanages in and outside of Jakarta. 

Moving back to the States and wanting to continue to help children in some capacity, the married couple recognized an unmet need for comfortable & colorful flip flops at a premium level. The idea for creating a quality-driven flip flop brand that would support kids was born. 

Seeing a lot of companies helping children abroad, Hari Mari decided to focus its efforts in the U.S., and was stunned to discover pediatric cancer is the most fatal disease among American children, more fatal than all other childhood diseases combined. It clicked from there. Hari Mari’s commitment now sees 1% of sales going to support kids battling cancer. It’s called Flops Fighting Cancer. 

Hari Mari’s can be found in over 800 retailers across the United States and on harimari.com.
