BRAND STORY
After graduating college, Tom went on an extended surf trip to Australia with a tent and surfboard. Along the way he acquires some curious souvenirs: a few pairs of radical Aussie shades leftover from the 80s. With the sunglasses stowed away in the closet, Tom and Michael embark on an entirely separate business to produce the Salsabol where after two years, they ran out of money due to an increase in costs. They launch a last-ditch survival effort on Kickstarter to bring back Tom’s vintage Australian surf trip shades. Somehow it works. Slowly but surely, they start to develop new designs and the foundation for a healthy small business. A daring few join them on the journey and the Sunski team is born.
