A note on this sale event
This foundation of this brand is making sun protection that women actually love wearing. So Melanoma Awareness Month is the time to shine a spotlight on the devastating rates of skin cancer in Australia, and to encourage more women to find sun protection they love, by making it more accessible to all.
My Founder's Picks are 50% off. These are the pieces I'm reaching for most often right now. With their beautiful colour blocks of peach, burnt orange and chocolate (Terra Rashguard) and oceans blues with earthy brown (Drift Rashguard), the Terra and Drift Rashguard designs were inspired by the Australian sunbaked coastlines, and perfectly elevated for poolside holidays and walks on cooler days when UV stays high.
Alongside them are the classic luxe rashguards - monochrome sets that look simple but aren't! Luxe Italian, long lasting fabric that can sub for a cotton tee with any outfit to boost your protection and your holiday looks.
Everything else is 20% off. We've even included our best sellers.
Because this isn't a clearance event and we're not a fast fashion brand. This is slow, sustainable fashion, with a cause.
This pricing is for 5 days only - we want you to choose premium pieces you'll be making memories in for seasons and holidays to come.
Warmly, Carly x

"I've just purchased one of your rashies for our 2 weeks in the Cook Islands. I've worn it every single day in the ocean and even for our sunset eco reef tour. It's the perfect fit, weight and most importantly keeps me and the reef safe!! (Me from the sun and the reef from the sunscreen!) I just need to decide which one I want to purchase next! Thank you for an amazing, quality product."
"Excellent quality Rashie. Great to wear to the beach or pool instead of a t shirt. My rashie is an excellent fit and skims the body in all the right places. It also dries really quickly once I'm out of the water and retains its shape and colour really well. I'll definitely be purchasing another one soon!"
"Love this top! I must confess that in the past I have not been a fan of rashies as I have found them unflattering on me (too tight in all the wrong places!). But my Big Vibes Day top has a very relaxed look that I love and is super comfy (as well as keeping me sun safe)."
"I don’t usually do reviews but I was really pleased with the rashie, to be honest I debated buying it as it was more than I wanted to spend but it was totally worth it which is why I wanted to send in the review 😊 I recently purchased one of your rashies for a trip to Fiji, and I loved it! Really great quality, looked great and was really comfortable and didn’t make me hot out of the water like other rashies do, so lovely and cool and quick drying. Such a great purchase and highly recommend!"
"This is my second BVD rashie and I absolutely love it! It's so comfy in the water and out, so I also wear it as a regular tshirt when I'm in the sun. I'm usually a size 12 so the medium is a perfect fit wet and dry. Is a 3rd rashie excessive...?"
"The MOST comfy and stylish rashies I've ever worn ❤️"

"I love this top - it's stylish and feels nice on the skin. I can put it on quickly to get out the door to the beach/pool with my kids and not worry about sunscreening all over. Very relaxing!"
"Quality and fit is exactly as described. I can tell this is going to last. The colours are bright and the fabric isn't heavy like regular rashies. I can't wait to show this off down at the beach. ☆☆☆☆☆"
"What beautiful fabric! Soft and feels wonderful against your skin. Bring on summer as I've now found a rashie that's comfortable rather than restrictive, and even better, looks great!"
"I absolutely love it!!! Will be wearing it all summer... It's so cute and flattering...it dries really fast after a swim and has held its shape perfectly despite getting loads of wear this summer at the beach and in the pool."
"I love my BIG VIBES DAY rashie, it looks great and feels great, and I know I'm getting great protection from the sun! It's the best rashie I've ever had for style, comfort and sun protection by far!"
"Just want to flex my very cute rashie😊 Not only was it cute but also had the nice fabric feeling plus awesome sun protection as well. We were mostly on the beautiful beaches of Broome and this was my uniform!"
"Really pleased with this Rashie. Flattering fit, good length in torso, nice premium feel to the material. I got XS and it is true to size. Can’t tell you how happy I am to have found this brand. So hard to find stylish rashies and this one is gorgeous!"
"I absolutely love my rash vest! The fit is perfect, it keeps me comfortable all day long, whether I'm surfing or lounging on the beach. It's stylish, durable, and has quickly become my go-to for any water adventure. Highly recommend!"
"Okay, I am obsessed. The sun protection is next level. Whether I'm surfing, swimming or just lounging by the water, I feel 100% covered, knowing I'm safe from those harsh rays. Plus, it's breathable and comfy - no sticky feeling, just smooth, lightweight fabric. Honestly, this rashie feels like a game-changer."
After having a melanoma removed in my thirties, I take sun protection seriously.
But in protecting my skin, I was tired of choosing between sun safety or style. Coverage or confidence. Practical or cool.
Why were we only being offered tight, clingy, triathlon-esque tops - or worse, frumpy cuts with floral prints that felt dated and Mumsy?
I wanted something that looked as cool as my favourite streetwear. Something I could wear from the beach to coffee. On a paddle board or at school pick up. From ocean swims to resort holidays.
So I built it. Now we're redefining what sun protection looks like.
Relaxed. Fun. Elevated. Thoughtfully made.
Premium Fabrics. Australian rated UPF50+. Sustainable production. Australian made.
We don't compromise on quality or style.
I designed our garments for women like me - women who love the sun, but refuse to sacrifice their style to protect themselves.
We choose quality over clutter. We want feel good, versatile pieces.
Thank you for being here and supporting my mission to make sun protection fashion forward and fun.
