SHIBUMI SHADE


Lightweight, easy to set up and works with the wind—the Shibumi Shade is the perfect beach accessory to keep you cool this summer. The signature free-flowing design won’t blow away in a strong gust on Ladies Beach, and the two size options—the Original providing shade for six and the brand-new Mini for a party of two—make it ideal for a day with friends or a quiet afternoon with your book.
