we’re on a mission to promote water & sun safety

What Sets Us Apart

Made from 100% Organic Cotton

By sourcing high quality, organic fabrics we are choosing to ensure your littlest loves are wrapped in good quality fibres that aren’t exposing them to harsh chemicals or harsh fibres on their skin. Our 300gsm organic cotton towel-wear designs are so soft & luxurious you won’t want to take them off.

Unique Jumpsuit Design seen no where else!

Designed from scratch, by a Mum of 4 who needed a solution! Our very own Jumpsuit Towel is nothing like you’ve seen before, I needed something safer than Kid’s Hooded Poncho Towels, I wanted something they couldn’t trip over in, that didn’t get caught under their feet/knees as they climb stairs, something that would get me home from swimming lessons, quicker! Throw their jumpsuit on after a swim, and head straight home! Forget the public change rooms and throw it on and head straight home!

Designed on Yuin Country

By The Dunes was founded & designed on Yuin Country. Amongst the crystal clear waters & white sand of Booderee National Park / Jervis Bay. "Booderee" in Dhurga language means "Bay of Plenty", and isn't it just that. The most beautiful place in the world. Booderee is owned by the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community and we are proud to share our culture and country with them. 

Bright UPF50+ Swimwear

Our range of Beach Essentials & Swimwear are designed to keep your little ones skin protected all summer long. Wearing a Long Sleeve Bright Swimsuit + a Bright Beach Hat gives your babe protection almost all over their body, slap on sunscreen on their legs & they're ready for a safe day in the sun! Our easy to spot, bright and high contrasting designs are made to be seen, especially under water. Meaning you can spot them faster, to emphasise water safety.

$1 from every order Clean’s Up Oceans

We are proud supporters of the Great Barrier Reef regeneration program; without action 90% of the Planet’s Coral Reefs could disappear by 2050. The Great Barrier Reef Foundation is restoring reefs and strengthening the Coral’s resilience to Climate Change. Every order helps clean up and restore our Ocean’s.

Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Packaging

Our innitiative here at By The Dunes is that everything you order came wrapped in, from the mailer, the postage label, the sticker, the tissue paper wrapping, the swing tag & thankyou card! Once you've unwrapped your goodies, and ensure they fit, put EVERYTHING in the compost bin! Means there is nothing that needs to go into the bin (except the little plastic section of the jute string that attaches the swing tag to the garment). This is made from recycled plastic, but won't be compostable unfortunately. But a finger nail size piece of plastic per order that goes to landfill? Sounds good to us!

Our Family Story

Here at By The Dunes we recognise the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land we design and operate on. 

As parents we understand the challenges of taking kids to the beach & pool. The sandy mess, the constant need for sun protection, and the struggle of finding comfortable, practical beachwear for the whole family. That's why we're here to make your beach outings simple, enjoyable, and stylish.

Our journey began with a simple idea - to create beach accessories that cater to the needs of parents and children alike. We started by designing Towel-wear, towels that are more than just towels. They're wearable, comfortable, and eco-friendly, perfect for babies, children, and parents who want to spend more time playing and less time fussing with bulky towels.

What sets us apart is our commitment to original designs and eco-friendly materials. We believe that you shouldn't have to compromise style for sustainability, which is why all our products are carefully crafted to be both beautiful and environmentally conscious.

So whether you're a parent looking for a hassle-free day at the beach or someone who simply loves the sun, sand, and sea, By The Dunes is here to make your beach experience unforgettable.
