Our story
My name is Kyra, and I’m from Queensland, Australia, although I originally hail from Liverpool, England. I moved to Australia when I was 15 and am now the owner of Tales of the Sun.
I was drawn to the brand because of its heartfelt message and what it offers families and children. Passionate about sustainability and quality, I strive to teach my two young daughters, Emberley and Ellasandra, that we can make a positive impact on the world while respecting and caring for it for future generations. My husband and I have always prioritized travel and creating memories over material things, yet we know the importance of having quality items to support our adventures. Tales embodies our vision of a sustainable, generational swimwear and clothing brand that can be passed down and cherished.
Growing up in England, my family spent our summers in places like Spain, Italy, and throughout Europe. We didn’t have much money, often relying on trains and buses, with my parents leading us on long treks in the sun to discover beautiful destinations. Our clothes didn’t hold up well during these adventures, whether exploring caves, beaches, or quaint villages. After becoming a mother, I noticed that most of my girls’ swimwear and clothing lacked durability and didn't support our active lifestyle.
When I discovered Tales, I felt an immediate connection and shared with my husband that this brand was the perfect fit for our family.
