Sun Groove Supply Co: Handprinted Clothing Brand

Project Overview

Sun Groove is a sustainable, hand-printed clothing brand I created to challenge fast fashion and celebrate the artistry of printmaking. Each piece is designed and printed by hand, making every item unique. The brand embraces bold, sun-soaked aesthetics inspired by surf culture, vintage design, and the free-spirited energy of beach life. A core mission of Sun Groove is to give back to the environment, which is why a portion of profits is donated to the Surfrider Foundation to support ocean conservation efforts.

Process

The development of Sun Groove involved a deep dive into branding, textile printing techniques, and ethical production methods. My process included:

  • Brand Identity & Design: I created a logo and visual system that reflects the brand’s laid-back yet artistic ethos, incorporating hand-drawn elements and earthy color palettes.

  • Screenprinting & Production: Each garment is printed using traditional screenprinting methods, ensuring high-quality, long-lasting designs while maintaining an authentic handmade feel.

  • Website & E-Commerce: I designed and developed a website to showcase the brand’s mission, product offerings, and sustainability efforts while providing a seamless shopping experience.

  • Marketing & Social Media: Through curated photoshoots, engaging storytelling, and grassroots promotion, I built an online presence that resonates with Sun Groove’s eco-conscious, creative audience.

Outcome

Sun Groove has become more than just a clothing brand—it’s a statement against mass production and an invitation to support small-batch, handcrafted fashion. The combination of unique, art-driven designs and an environmentally responsible mission has allowed the brand to stand out in a crowded market. By merging creativity with sustainability, Sun Groove continues to grow as a platform for both artistic expression and positive environmental impact.

Limited-Edition Drops

Rather than following traditional retail cycles, Sun Groove releases exclusive drops 4-5 times a year. Each collection features fresh, hand-printed designs inspired by the season, surf culture, and nostalgic aesthetics. Every drop is limited-run, ensuring that each piece remains unique while reducing waste and overproduction.
