Meet the Family Behind Sunfolk

We’re Emma, Josh, and our outdoor-loving boy Luka.

Sunfolk started with a simple idea, to make life easier for families who just want to get their kids outside, without the sunscreen wrestle every time. We wanted sun-safe shirts that looked good, felt comfy, and could handle all the backyard chaos.

Sunfolk Apparel is about less stress, more play and peace of mind under the harsh Aussie sun.

From our family to yours, we’re so glad you’re here.

sun-safety should be easy

Why choose Sunfolk Apparel?

Our fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun’s rays, so you can stress less about sunscreen battles and focus more on making memories outdoors.

We’ve all been there, wanting to protect our kids from the harsh Aussie sun, but cringing at the daggy styles that don’t suit everyday life.

So we made something better. Sunfolk shirts are made for real life; playdates, park hangs, camping trips, daycare drop-offs, and everything in between. They’re sun-safe, yes. but they’re also stylish, soft, and thoughtfully designed with earthy tones and modern prints that you’ll actually want your kids to wear.

Because sun protection shouldn’t mean compromising on how they look (or how they feel wearing it).

We know how much effort it takes just to leave the house with kids. The sunscreen negotiations, the wardrobe meltdowns, the last-minute nappy changes. It’s a lot.

That’s why we created sun-safe shirts that take one thing off your plate. Our UPF50+ styles are lightweight, breathable, quick-dry, and easy to throw on... no fuss, no complaints. Whether they’re climbing trees, munching snacks, or running through sprinklers, they stay comfy and covered all day.

The Aussie sun is no joke! UV rays can cause damage in as little as 10 minutes, even on cloudy days. And kids? They’re more vulnerable than we realise, with delicate skin that needs extra protection while they’re busy being, well... kids.

That’s where UPF50+ clothing comes in. It’s like sunscreen they can’t rub off... blocking 98% of harmful UV rays while they climb, cartwheel, dig and explore. No constant reapplying. No fighting with floppy towels or slippery SPF.

It’s peace of mind for parents, and freedom for kids to play without limits.
