Who we are
As a Florida Native I wanted to sell sun protective clothing - made with sun resistant fabrics which shield you from exposure to UV radiation while keeping you cool and dry.
Our passion for unique designs while showcasing Florida's wildlife, colorful, creative, and inspired by what we see everyday. Each product represents what we love about this great state we live in and its natural recourses with our awareness apparel.
We work with non-profits and local business to help increase awareness to their cause through apparel and other items that are customized for the customers needs.
As a small growing company, its not always easy, but we're continually pushing to reduce our footprint by choosing recycled products used for manufacturing and offering earth friendly products to our customers.
ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
ERIC OSTERTAG: SAWFISH
Erik Ostertag grew up in the Twin Cities, Minnesota enamored with the world around him. His childhood was spent outdoors looking for snakes,frogs, and turtles. He would even occasionally flood his mother’s flower garden looking for them. More than anything though, he was fascinated with marine life: sharks, rays, whales, and every sized critter in-between. He spent hours going through Zoobooks, and enjoyed drawing the animals he saw in the magazines.As he grew older, he volunteered at the local zoo, and returned for internships during his college years. All the while he continued to practicedrawing, sketching, and coloring his favorite animals. In college, Erik focused on biology, taking courses that would help him learn all he couldabout animals. But he didn’t stop drawing, earning a minor in studio art.After college graduation, Erik moved to Florida so he could start his career working with all his favorite marine creatures. He has spent the last 10 years working for various aquariums and aquaculture facilities. He has cared for a multitude of sharks, rays, fish, inverts, and coral reefsystems. He was even on the ground crew opening the largest inland North American coral rescue facility for endangered corals.One of his favorite animals Erik had the privilege of caring for was the Floridian native, the Smalltooth sawfish. They are large critically endangered rays with a toothy, blade protruding from their noses. Erik is still in awe every time he gets into the water with them.

We had the privilege to be able to take on MRC shirt project.
MRC’s volunteer North Atlantic Right Whale Program spotters report right whale sightings to track the whales’ movement and behavior patterns.
The endangered North Atlantic Right Whale utilizes the Atlantic Coast off Georgia and Florida as calving grounds. Volunteer spotters, living in high-rise beachside condos, report right whale sightings to track the whales’ movement and behavior patterns along the Atlantic Coast in an effort to determine migration characteristics of these highly endangered marine mammals.
