Our Story

More than just a clothing brand, Sun & Sanctuary is an art venture that I made to capture the essence of California coastal living. 

It starts with a brush stroke. I illustrate each print by hand from my seaside art studio in Redondo Beach. Each design is then printed onto rich fabrics for high quality, lasting color. Finally, the skilled artisans of Sun & Sanctuary’s Los Angeles based workshop cut and sew each clothing item by hand. 

Sun & Sanctuary is artwork that dances with your body and moves with you through life. It is a talisman, reminding you that paradise is not a destination, but a way of being.
