There’s something about retro tones that never goes out of style, simple, timeless, and easy to love. The Retro Mauve Sun-Safe Shirt brings that effortless vibe to your child’s everyday wardrobe, while giving you the ultimate peace of mind with UPF50+ protection.

This soft mauve colourway is versatile and modern, pairing perfectly with shorts, skirts, or even layered over swimmers. It’s one of those shirts that looks dressed up with zero effort, ideal for when you’re heading from park play straight to a family lunch.

The fabric is light and breathable, designed for warm Aussie days when kids just don’t slow down. And with a relaxed, comfortable fit, you won’t be hearing the usual “it’s scratchy” or “too tight” complaints.

It's all in the details:

• UPF 50+ certified – trusted protection against Australia’s harsh sun (FABRIC UPF RATING BY ARPANSA - tested to AS4399:2020)
• Lightweight + breathable – our premium 165gsm polyester mesh fabric is engineered for comfort and protection, keeping kids cool while they play.
• Easy-care fabric – machine washable and built to handle snack stains, sand, and everyday mess.
• Stylish, versatile designs – neutral, on-trend patterns that work just as well at the park as they do at the backyard BBQ or cafe.
• Mum-approved comfort – stretchy cuffs, tagless neckline, relaxed fit, dress collar look, OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified inks, and soft fabric that’s gentle on little skin.

The Retro Mauve shirt is more than clothing, it’s a piece you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again. Because it’s practical, stylish, and makes your child feel just as good as they look. Sun safe, mum approved, and ready for every adventure.

• One less battle. Just throw it on and know your little one is protected — no more wrestling with sunscreen every 30 minutes.
• Everyday friendly. Works for backyard play, park hangs or cafe runs — not just the beach.
• Easy to wash, easy to wear. Quick-dry, machine washable, and tough enough to survive snack stains and sand.
• Mix & match style. Neutral tones and timeless prints that look cute on their own or coordinated with siblings.
• Peace of mind built in. Lightweight, breathable fabric with UPF50+ protection, so you can relax while they play.

To keep your Sunfolk shirt looking fresh and ready for adventure:

• Cold gentle machine wash
• Wash inside out with like colours
• Do not bleach, soak, or rub
• Line dry in the shade
• Do not tumble dry
• Do not iron
• Do not dry clean

For best results: Rinse after beach or pool wear to remove salt and chlorine, and keep that UPF50+ fabric performing at its best.

While our shirts and rompers provide UPF 50+ protection, they’re just one part of staying sun safe. For best protection, pair them with other sun-smart essentials like a broad-brimmed hat, sunglasses,
and sunscreen on exposed skin.

Please note: the UPF rating may be reduced if the fabric is wet, stretched, or not cared for according to instructions..
