Hey there, rad parents and fellow dreamers! 🌊✌️ I’m Ash, the proud mama behind Sand + Salt Kids, and I’m super stoked to share the story of how our little dream turned into a thriving brand that’s all about spreading good vibes and making a positive impact on our planet.
The Spark of Inspiration
Living on the beautiful Phillip Island, Australia, I’ve always been surrounded by stunning beaches, epic surf, and a community that loves the outdoors. As a mum to two rad little lads, I found myself constantly searching for kids’ clothing that was not only stylish but also durable enough to withstand their endless adventures. It was during one of these searches that the idea for Sand + Salt Kids started to take shape.
I realized there was a gap in the market for high-quality, sustainable kids’ clothing that could keep up with our active island lifestyle. I wanted to create something that kids would love to wear, something that would make them feel confident and cool, while also being kind to the environment. And so, the dream of Sand + Salt Kids was born.
Turning Dreams into Reality
Starting a business is no small feat, especially when you’re a busy mum juggling a million things at once. But I was determined to bring my vision to life. I spent countless hours researching sustainable materials, brainstorming designs, and learning the ins and outs of running a business. I wanted every piece of clothing to be one-of-a-kind, just like the little legends who would wear them.
I partnered with talented artisans in Bali to handcraft each item with love and care. This not only ensured the highest quality but also supported local communities. From the very beginning, it was important to me that Sand + Salt Kids stood for more than just clothing; it had to represent a movement towards sustainability, individuality, and positivity.
Embracing the Journey
Of course, the journey wasn’t without its challenges. There were late nights, moments of doubt, and a lot of learning along the way. But every step brought us closer to creating a brand that I am incredibly proud of. Our commitment to sustainability means that our clothes are made to last, reducing waste and promoting a greener future for our kiddos.
One of the highlights of our journey has been partnering with i=change, where we donate $1 from every sale to a cause chosen by our customers. It’s our way of giving back and making a difference together. Knowing that our community is part of this positive change fuels our passion and drives us to keep pushing forward.
Spreading the Good Vibes
At Sand + Salt Kids, we believe that clothing is more than just fabric – it’s a way to express who you are and what you stand for. Our designs reflect our commitment to positivity, individuality, and a sustainable future. We want every child who wears our clothes to feel empowered, confident, and ready to take on the world.
Our journey has been a wild ride, filled with ups and downs, but it’s the love and support from our amazing community that keeps us going. Seeing kids rock our designs, hearing your feedback, and knowing that we’re making a positive impact on both the planet and the lives of our little ones – that’s what it’s all about.
Looking Ahead
As we continue to grow, we’re excited about the future and all the possibilities it holds. We’re constantly exploring new ways to innovate, create, and inspire. Whether it’s expanding our product range, finding new sustainable materials, or launching exciting collaborations, we’re always looking for ways to bring more good vibes into the world.
So, here’s to all the dreamers, the doers, and the parents who believe in creating a better future for our kids. Thank you for being part of the Sand + Salt Kids journey. Together, we can make waves and create a brighter, more sustainable world – one rad piece of clothing at a time.
Stay epic, stay rad, and keep spreading those good vibes! 🌊✌️💛
