Why this selection?

  • Our Drift and Terra Rashguards were inspired by the sunbaked Australian coastlines - peach, burnt orange and chocolate colour blocks (the Terra), or blocks of sky, ocean and earth (the Drift). They're elevated and lightweight, perfect for a resort holiday by the pool, or coastal walks from Bondi to Bronte.
  • The Monochrome Rashguards are classic but luxe - sub them in for your favourite tee with any outfit, so save space in your packing as you wear them from swim to spritz!
  • The Chocolate & Yellow Longline Shorts - swim & wear them anywhere, or throw them on to protect your legs while you dry. So versatile, so cool. Game changers.
  • Our new pretty in pink activewear bathers. BIG LOVE! They look great as a monochrome set or mix and match them with the chocolate or spicy red bather pieces. For swim or work outs.

Luxury UPF50+ Fabrics. Australian Made. Lightweight, fast dry. Built to stay looking good for seasons and holidays to come.

Find something you love - because the best sun protection is the one you love wearing, again and again!

Why I Created This Brand

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.

Warmly,
Carly x
