Creating Shade, Protecting Nature: The Story Behind Saturday Sun
At Saturday Sun, our story begins with a love for the outdoors and a commitment to keeping our family safe under the sun. With young children who thrive in nature, we found ourselves spending countless weekends at the beach. Over time, we tried so many sun shade options but struggled to find one that met all our needs—portability, reliability, and sustainability.
When we discovered that Saturday Sun, a brand that perfectly aligned with our values, was for sale, it felt like the natural next step in our adventure. We knew we had found something special: a locally designed, sustainably manufactured product that was exactly what we had been searching for. Taking over the brand wasn’t just a business decision—it was a way to share our passion for the outdoors and sun safety with others.
At the heart of Saturday Sun are core values that guide everything we do. We believe in putting the environment first, which is why our manufacturing processes prioritise sustainability and incorporate recycled materials. Our packaging is as eco-friendly as possible, and we proudly pledge to Take 3 for the Sea, a commitment we inherited and continue to uphold.
Our products are designed with outdoor enthusiasts like us in mind. We use our sun shades, umbrellas, and blankets year-round, whether at the beach, the park, or in our own backyard. They’re not just for sunny days—they’re for every day, and they’re built to last. Being outdoors so often, we’re incredibly sun-conscious, and we’ve made it our mission to help others enjoy the outdoors while staying protected.
We’re a small family—just Mum, Dad, and two kids—doing it all ourselves. We’re packing every order, checking every product, and making sure everything we send out meets the high standards we set for our own use. We’re not just selling sun shades and loungers; we’re sharing a piece of our lifestyle, encouraging more people to get out and enjoy the outdoors, stay sun-safe, and take care of the environment.
Saturday Sun is more than just a brand; it’s a community. You’ll find us at local markets, supporting Surf Life Saving clubs, and donating to silent auctions whenever we can. We believe in giving back to the causes that matter to us, especially those that align with our mission to protect the environment.
Our collaboration with "Take 3 from the Sea" is a natural extension of our values. We may not be able to save all the beaches on our own, but by honouring this pledge, we’re doing our part to make a difference. It’s a drop in the ocean, but every drop counts.
We’re not just here to sell you a product—we’re here to invite you to join us in our mission to enjoy the great outdoors, protect the environment, and make every sunny day a little safer and a lot more fun.
Welcome to Saturday Sun, where every day feels like the weekend.
