The New Beach & Resortwear Collection

The year 2023 marked a significant milestone for us at SunSibility with the launch of our New Beach & Resortwear Collection. This collection is the culmination of extensive time, investment, and collaboration in pattern and product development, ensuring we bring only the best to our customers.

Our journey in creating this collection was one of meticulous craftsmanship and artistic collaboration. We partnered with some of the most prestigious specialists in London, known for their unparalleled skill and attention to detail and finishing. This collaboration allowed us to refine our designs to perfection, ensuring each garment is not just a piece of clothing, but a work of art that offers superior sun protection.

The collection itself is our commitment to style, comfort, and protection. Each piece has been thoughtfully designed to provide UV protection while ensuring that our customers look and feel fabulous. Whether it’s a day at the beach or a resort holiday, our Beach & Resortwear Collection offers the perfect blend of fashion and functionality that you can simply put on and go.

From elegant dresses to breezy cover-ups, each item in the collection reflects our dedication to quality and style. The fabrics are carefully selected for their UV protective properties and are crafted to provide comfort and durability. The 28 neutral colours, classic bolds and brights are chosen to make a statement, ensuring that our customers stand out in both style and sun safety.

This collection is more than just clothing; it’s a celebration of sun-safe fashion. We are proud to offer our customers a range that allows them to enjoy the sun responsibly without compromising on style. The New Beach & Resort Wear Collection is not just a product launch for us; it’s a reflection of our passion for bringing sun safety into the mainstream fashion conversation.
