Ethical Practices
Sun & Daughter’s products are made from lightweight, durable, waterproof nylon with a focus on responsible material sourcing. Manufacturing takes place in China with a reputable partner that enforces strict policies against child labour. Premium prices are paid to support fair wages and safe, respectful working conditions. The brand is committed to ethical sourcing, transparency and social responsibility across its supply chain.
Sustainable Practices
Sun & Daughter partners with Plastic Bank to remove one plastic bottle from the ocean for every order, with over 10,000 bottles removed to date. Thank-you cards are printed on recycled paper and designed for children to colour in, reducing paper waste. Shipping uses biodegradable or recyclable cardboard mailers with minimal packaging and no unnecessary fillers. The brand also contributes to reforestation by planting trees monthly, with 24 trees planted since launch.
Social Impact
Sun & Daughter partners with Plastic Bank to remove ocean-bound plastic and provide fair-wage jobs in coastal communities such as Haiti, Indonesia and the Philippines, supporting access to food, healthcare and education. The brand hosts Mothers’ Catch-Ups every eight weeks at local parks and beaches to foster community among mums. Sun & Daughter also contributes to reforestation by planting trees monthly and uses social media to educate families on sun safety, sustainability and conscious consumer choices.
Product Reviews by Experts
It’s surprisingly difficult to improve on something as familiar as a bucket hat, yet this design does exactly that. Exceptionally lightweight (so important on fussy little heads!) and easy to fold into even the smallest bag, it’s the kind of thing that once you’re using it, you’re wondering how or why you ever used anything else. During testing it comfortably handled everything from swimming to sweaty heads. It’s a beautifully considered piece of design – simple, functional and executed really well. Amazing job. We’ll be adding the other colour to our collection. The most compelling aspect is that its community initiatives feel intrinsically linked to the product itself. Creating opportunities for mothers to connect outdoors is a perfect IRL extension to the whole premise of the brand. And the partnership with Plastic Bank demonstrates a real understanding of social and environmental responsibility. They feel like genuine extensions of the brand’s purpose, not a marketing schtick or a box to check.
This hat is brilliant. We just tried it out on a beach holiday and it floats, has a large coverage area and dried super quickly. It’s also so bright that we never lost it! I’m really loving that this brand supports a global initiative like Plastic Bank, to remove plastic from the ocean, but they also spend time building their local community with mother’s catch ups. Every brand should have that same global perspective with a local community driver.
I really like the practical design of this hat. The wide brim provides great sun protection, and the fact that it’s waterproof and floats makes it a clever option for families who spend time at the beach, pool or around water. The adjustable fit also helps keep it securely in place on windy days and active little ones. I appreciate the brand’s commitment to giving back through initiatives such as removing plastic from the ocean, planting trees and creating opportunities for mothers to connect in their local community. It’s encouraging to see a small, family-led business combining practical products with genuine environmental and community-focused initiatives.
