My grandparents were the official Sandy Souls. They loved the beach and made their forever home on the East coast of Vancouver Island. They instilled the love for sand in their toes and the salty ocean breeze into their children and grandchildren. Sandy Soul Apparel is a brand for those who cherish their outdoor spaces and inspiring places. The coast campers, mountain magnets, and weekend wanderers. Those who follow their soul, because it knows the way. Growing up surrounded by orca whales, dolphins, black bears, and sea wolves, this brand embodies life on Vancouver Island.
