About Suncheeter

A Passion for Swimwear for women who don’t do bikini’s

 My favourite place in the world has always been the beach - whether it was chasing waves with family and friends along the Cornish coast in the UK, exploring sandy shores across Europe, or here at home in Australia.

When I arrived in Australia as an immigrant from the UK way back in the late ‘70’s I quickly realised just how intense the Australian sun was. Long summers by the ocean, barefoot on white sand and under a blazing sun are part of what made me feel alive. The inevitable sunburn felt like a right of passage.

Fast forward to 2012, after two kids and yet more sunburn, I felt the urge to put my career in the fashion industry to good use to develop stylish swimwear solutions for women like me, who wanted UPF50+ sun protection that offered comfort, cover-up and a huge boost to confidence.

Through conversations with sisters, friends and customers, I realised that most women navigate body changes during pregnancy and postpartum, hitting 40, during menopause, and just as life happens. On top of this some women develop skin conditions such as Polymorphous Light Eruption (PMLE), skin, breast and other cancers and general sun damage. We chose no bikini!! And hence Suncheeter was born.

Whether you have had kids, hitting menopause, or simply want a bit more coverage, our swimwear gives you stylish support so you can focus on fun, not fuss and enjoy the beach with confidence.

From the beach to you….
