Our Journey: From Vision to Award-Winning Brand

Founded by our talented and passionate Angeli Jackson, SunSibility has grown from a small vision into an industry-renowned brand. With a background in Product Development for the Fashion Industries at the London College of Fashion, Angeli turned her expertise and passion into a business that prioritises both protection and style. With a start-up loan from The Prince’s Trust, SunSibility was created to provide stylish, high-quality sun-protective clothing for individuals needing protection from harmful UV rays.

Our story is one of perseverance and passion. Over the years, we’ve teamed up with dermatologists and other medical experts to ensure our garments meet the needs of those with sun-sensitive conditions, including lupus, vitiligo, and polymorphic light eruption. SunSibility is also proud to support organisations such as Lupus UK and The Vitiligo Society, offering tailored solutions for those who require sun protection as part of their daily lives.

The Science Behind Our Fabric Technology

At SunSibility, we rely on specialist Italian fabric that undergoes rigorous testing to achieve its UPF 50+ rating, blocking over 97.5% of harmful UV rays. This level of protection means you can spend time outdoors without worrying over excessive exposure to the sun’s damaging rays.

What Makes Our Fabric Unique?

• Lightweight and breathable: Even on the hottest days, you’ll stay cool and comfortable.

• Durable and long-lasting: Each garment keeps its sun-shielding properties, wash after wash.

• Soft and comfortable: Ideal for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin prone to irritation.

We’re often asked why sun protection is so important in clothing. The truth is, regular fabrics can still let through a significant amount of UV rays, especially after repeated washing or wear. Our specialised materials, however, maintain their integrity over time, ensuring continued peace of mind and top-tier sun coverage.
