Boom Shankar Big Love Big Life

A history of Boom

If there is one way to describe Boom Shankar, it’s humble beginnings. Dui was born in Kempsey, an outback town in rural New South Wales, where her father Bob was the local milkman. It’s a small town that made a big name for itself as the birthplace of Slim Dusty (who was actually born in the same hospital as Dui!), the home of the iconic Akubra, and of course, it’s where it all started for Dui, back when Boom Shankar was not even a twinkle in her eye

Love of colour

Over the last two decades, Boom Shankar has evolved into a prominent Australian fashion label. Dui designs each piece in with her team in Australia, and then spends six months at a time in India working closely with the skilled craftspeople who create and assemble each season’s range.
