Shibumi Shade is a beach accessory company that has redefined beach comfort and set new standards in the industry.
The founders, Dane Barnes, Scott Barnes, and Alex Slater, developed a lightweight, arch-shaped shade after growing tired of their beach umbrellas constantly blowing over.
Shibumi Shade experienced grassroots growth by targeting key markets based on customer feedback and strategically expanding their retail presence.
The company protected their brand identity by maintaining a consistent color palette and securing patents to prevent counterfeit products.
