Casa del Shai celebrates Philippine Independence Day this weekend with a clothesline filled with Pinoy (Slang for Filipino) Tshirts. Depicted with filipino pop culture icons, nuances and humor, these shirts are a fun way to show your national pride, channeling the funky hipster lifestyle. For a fun quick english translation, get someone who knows tagalog and it just might start an interesting conversation about Balut.

Wave your flag and eat Balut like a true pinoy homie. Now available at Casa del Shai.

As temperatures rise up to welcome spring, Casa del Shai tunes in on a breathtaking Safari Adventure. A firm believer in conserving energy, and protecting the wild, I wanted to dress you up in earth friendly colours as you go on to save the lonely planet from climate change.
The Zambia Safari Swimsuit offers an elemental experience into the wilds. Dressed in sheer cream sculpted top, held by a single halter tie, this suit is a star in any Lost episode.

The Birdwatcher Suit is the ultimate classy suit to watch the eagles and falcons cry out in the morning. Comes in 3 safari colours, Khaki, White and Fatigue and each set has a jacket, a pair of pants, a pair of camo shorts. Take a walk on the wild side and feed some birds today.



The Conservationist Safari Suit fits any Great Adventure, through lush rainforests or Serengeti’s wilderness . Dashing into the thick brushes in camo colours, these suits are made for wear and tear of the rugged man. Comes with the jacket, matching pair of pants and a camo innershirt to suit any Indiana Jones wannabe.



Now experiencing the wild at Casa del Shai.

Who say’s we forgot about our beloved handsome SL men?
Presenting all new clothes for the Casa del Shai guy. Channelling Italian goodness, period clothing and a tiny peek into what’s instore for our men, we give you three stylish characters to choose from
The Newsboy Outfit
A hark back to the glorious days of the newspaper boy, this outfit calls out to the workforce as they trudge the empty morning cobblestone streets of the city. Each set comes with two coloured striped sweaters (full color + grey combinations), a separate jacket layer for the suspenders that you can wear with other shirts, and a set of grimy black wool pants.

The Nehru Suit
The popular Indian suit has graced its modern touch at the Casa del Shai. Promoted well thru movies and the glittery hollywood scene, the Nehru Jacket was seen off the illustrous villains of our times. Dr. No, Austin Powers and also popularized by Johnny Carson. Handcrafted with the best linen textiles, this suit comes with a jacket, a dress shirt and a matching pair of pants.

The Alpine Man
The sweet mountain air fills your breath as you shuffle across the winter’s path. The Alpine man is an altitude dressy outfit for those who like adventures up in the Bavarian Alps. Comes with a tweed waistcoat, trimmed with coque feather on the pocket, a knit sweater, a white dress shirt and matching tweed belted pants.

Happy New Year everyone!

Casa del Shai brings to you the stylings of the Jemaine Outfit, a little spark of humor and inspiration from the recent youtube craze on Flight of the Conchords. Jemaine embodies the sexy art student geek wear from your local thrift shops around the world. Insanely fuzzy argyle makes you want to cuddle him up in a tab, bring him home to meet your untouched acoustic guitar. The details on the coat’s brass buttons, fabric bleeding at the edges, and undeniable well worn feeling, like you could almost smell a whiff of mothballs. The Cattle Ranch Pants with its soft cordorouy fabric and the ribbed turtleneck underneath complete the edgy “I really wanna play in a band when i grow up” look.

Be too cool for school and warm up in the Jemaine Outfit at the Casa del Shai Deco. Accessories from Philotic Energy and Kari.

A southern gentleman would appeal to our sartorial senses as they take daily walks at the park, armed with their moleskine notebooks and furrowed brows. They would sometimes oblige you for a cup of coffee or maybe, an invitation to smoke some tobacco . Lucky is the person who catches them when they’re weaving stories about the colourful lives they’ve experienced. Intelligent and respectably worldly, the Southern Comfort Suit is a shining reminder of the vintage 40s where men wore bowties to everyday life. Each suit is accentuated by sculpted prim cuffs and sculpted prim pant legs, available in Charcoal, Cream and Chocolate.
Put on a slouchy Southern Comfort suit today and take a break off the fast lane. Breathe. Live. Dream.
