Twenty years ago Sunlover was established as a clothing brand, focusing on bringing global and ethical clothing to the western world. Our best selling range of beach wear was designed to compliment all sun lovers and so Sunlover was born!

With the beginning of the new millennium came a change that would set in stone the foundations of Sunlover and establish us as the reliable and trustworthy fair trade supplier of gifts and handicrafts that we now are. As our main product range changed from textiles to handicrafts we discovered more and more products throughout the Indonesian archipelago that we excitedly started to add to our range. We still work with many of the suppliers we originally started with and have enjoyed growing with them throughout the years. We were also proudly one of the original members of BAFTS joining in 1998 and continuing to enjoy membership to date.

In 2017 there was a change of ownership within Sunlover, which saw a fresh burst of energy injected as we concentrated on pushing our fair trade values to even further corners of the world. Thailand was the first new country we looked at and in 2018 we were excited to receive our first container full of new Thai goodies. Travelling to Thailand and finding both new products and new suppliers gave us the desire to keep looking and the following year we reached out to India to keep our new ranges growing. Another year saw another country added with Guatemala giving us another fantastic range. We hope you stay with us on this journey to discover where’s next!

Throughout all of our history fair trade and a desire to help families support themselves as been at the core of everything we do. We have a genuine passion for finding new artisans to work with and continue to be amazed at the level of talent that is out there to be shared. We truly pride ourselves in working closely alongside our producers and value the relationships we establish with them. The exuberant nature of our craftsmen and their willingness to embrace new ideas, gives us an exciting and creative environment in which to work, developing the products that your customers can use to help shape and style their homes.  With so many products available, and more coming, there truly is something for everyone. 

​​​​​​​Sunlover is a family run business.  We have travelled the world, seen what it has to offer and changed our lives to fully embrace the wonder it holds.  Over our twenty years we have been able to develop a network of suppliers and workshops focussed on quality and design. By subtly combining western style, natural materials and traditional craftsmanship, we have created a collection which celebrates the diversity and colourful vitality of the world and all it has to offer.
