Our Story

Born in Margaret River, Worn Worldwide

Sandgropers started with a hat, but it was never just about headwear.
It’s about belonging, and it’s about expression.

Born on the rugged coastline of Western Australia and named after the locals who chase salt, sun and simplicity, Sandgropers is a premium lifestyle brand for those who don’t just live here, they feel it in their bones.

What began as a local love letter to the Aussie summer has grown into a global call to slow down, soak it up, and live life your way. Our first drop of retro inspired corduroy snapbacks captured that WA spirit: laidback, unpretentious and unmistakably coastal.

Every colour tells a story. From the deep maroons of fading arvos to the golden haze of summer heat, stormy greys that echo rugged skies, or crisp whites that cut clean like fresh foam. Your choice isn’t just a shade, it’s a state of mind. A way to show the world who you are, without saying a word.

We’re not chasing trends, and we’re definitely not part of the pack.
While the big surf brands sold out to American corporates and lost their roots, we’ve stayed grounded. Proudly independent, proudly Australian, built for those who would rather chase sun than status.

From lazy arvo dune walks to early surf checks and long haul road trips, Sandgropers is for the sun chasers, tide watchers and those who Leave. Only. Footprints.

Designed and delivered from WA. Made to move with you, wherever your coastline lies.

👉 The hats were just the beginning.
