SHADEmakers UK collaborates with Australians Jeremy and Liz, creators of the distinctive, patented SWIM SHADY beach parasols. Swim Shady reimagines beach days with its ultra-compact, featherlight solo shade for effortless sun protection.

Their journey began in summer 2021, after a frustrating day wrangling a bulky umbrella on the beach. Determined to devise a superior alternative, they engineered Swim Shady: an agile, intuitive shade with tool-free setup, adjustable canopy, UPF 50+ protection, and a sleek, practical design.

Ditch heavy bags and tangled poles. Swim Shady’s side-post parasols streamline your outdoor outings with a minimalist 1.8kg build that slips into your day bag. Perfect for the beach, festivals, and travel, the collection combines robust UV defence and signature prints with a spacious canopy, rapid assembly, and easy shade adjustment for carefree, stylish days.

Swim Shady’s are available in four unique canopy designs with a matching range of reversible Swim Shady beach bags. These are made from water-resistant Tyvek, each with concealed magnetic catches for easy closing and opening. They are reversible (turn them inside out), making it easy to shake away any pesky sand granules after a day at the beach. The reverse side features a different design, giving the appearance of two bags from one.

We stock Swim Shady parasols and the matching beach bags in the UK for next-day dispatch across the UK and Europe. Stocks change daily.
