Janey says…With 4 kids (all with fair skin) I’ve long been a fan of this excellent company who make funky sun protective clothing…
So who’s behind it ?
Angeli Jackson, Founder and Managing Director. Epsom, Surrey KT19 9EA
SunSibility was formed in 2001, following Angeli’s graduation from the London College of Fashion. She Graduated with BA Honours in Product Development for the Fashion Industries, developed the idea for my final study project but then, after working so hard, she decided to turn the idea into working practice. The Foundations were already in place and there was great demand for this product in the market.
SunSibility is a high quality sun protection company, dedicated to offering the most effective and stylish clothing and accessories products for the whole family. The company is committed to helping customers enjoy the sun safely and to help raise awareness both in the UK and Internationally.
How big is the company, where are your products sold?
SunSibility is a home-based company, selling products globally, recognised by the Health, Fashion, Sports and Travel industries. The products have also been medically endorsed for effectiveness.
What attracted you to this business?
I always enjoyed my annual holiday and the ‘feel good factor’ a warm sunny day provides and I wondered how those who are sun-sensitive coped with being in direct sunlight. I researched the market and realised that there are many different reasons that people are or become sun-sensitive and I wanted to make their daily lifestyle a little easier. After talking to the general public, I also became aware that there are those who simply want to protect their skin, whilst out shopping or walking on the beach, and are more sun-aware, but want to look good at the same time.
What’s your USP?
SunSibility’s uniqueness is that the garments are made from a specialist SPF50 material, made to order in-house by professional tailors and dressmakers. We listen to customer feedback and discuss their needs and requirements, designing the products accordingly. We can provide Sun Protection products for all occasions together with accessories and body care. SunSibility have everything you need under one umbrella!
What do customers say about your products?
The current client list have so far been completely satisfied with the products they’ve received and the SunSibility Website shows the current reviews and testimonials.
Best selling products ?
Classic items such as the ‘Long Sleeve Tops’, ‘Drawstring Trouser’, ‘Bias Cut Skirts’ and ‘Tracksuits for kids’. The Beachwear and new kids collections have also now been launched which I hoping to be best-sellers too. These are all easy to where and ‘breathable’ items which come in beautiful colours and look fantastic.
Anything else you’d like to tell us? Sing your own praises!
The new collection is based on a ‘Multi-function’ purpose which can be worn during the day and into the night. The designs are such that they protect you during the day and still look fabulous to wear for the evening. This can mean less packing for your summer holiday!
Also, being a new mum (my daughter Atalya is 19 months old), I would like to FOCUS a lot more on the ‘Baby and Toddler’ sun protection products this year.
I create ideas from my own experiences and believe that we offer a personal and professional service at all times. I like to go that extra mile for my customers as standard.
