About Cabana Kids

The idea for Cabana Kids was hatched on a sunny trip to the nearby South Coast shortly into the lockdown of spring 2020. We had struggled to find a suitable sunshade for our daughter Lillie; something portable, made of natural materials and in a colour palette that fitted with our home. Essentially, we were looking for a sun shade with the sun factor AND fun factor! So we thought, in the midst of a life-changing global pandemic, why not be bold and come up with our own concept? With Lizzie’s 15+ years’ experience in the fashion industry ( Lizzie is the ex Design Director of URBAN OUTFITTERS ), combined with Jamie’s creative and technical know-how from owning COOKIE MEDIA ( an established and successful design agency ) a huge shift in personal priorities saw us centring our lives around our family as we sought out a healthier work/home life balance. We set about applying ourselves to the challenge of creating a brand that combined our business experience with our new identities, co-parenting our daughter and Jamie’s two children.Read their story
