Embarking on a van trip of Scandinavia is a dream come true ..

especially when you have the perfect companions by your side - the thoughtful and eco-conscious products from Eco Beach.

We are so proud to be Welsh, and it's an absolute honour to showcase a Welsh company. As a family business based in the picturesque seaside town of Newport, on the stunning Pembrokeshire coast of West Wales, Eco Beach is committed to blending sustainable practices with stylish beachwear. We were fortunate enough to receive a thoughtful gift from Eco Beach to accompany us on our Scandinavian adventure, comprising the Adults Unisex Organic Beach Cruiser Hoodie, Kids Organic Beach Cruiser Hoodie, Marloes Bio Sunglasses, and the Rhossili Sunglasses. In this blog post, we'll share our experience with each item, highlighting their incredible quality, unmatched comfort, and undeniable style that has made them an inseparable part of our journey.

1. Adults Unisex Organic Beach Cruiser Hoodie:

From the moment we slipped into the Adults Unisex Organic Beach Cruiser Hoodie, we knew it was destined to become a staple on our Scandinavian van trip. Crafted from organic cotton, recycled polyester and printed with water-based organic inks, this hoodie boasts an unmatched softness that wraps us in comfort during cool evenings by the campfire or chilly coastal winds. Its unisex design adds a touch of effortless style to our adventure wardrobe, making it versatile and perfect for all-day wear. Thanks to its superior quality, it has held up remarkably well throughout our journey so far, and we can confidently say it's one of the cosiest hoodies we've ever owned.

2. Kids Organic Beach Cruiser Hoodie:

Our little explorers instantly fell in love with the Kids Organic Beach Cruiser Hoodie, and it's easy to see why. There's a variety of lovely colours to choose from and their playful design perfectly match their youthful spirit, and the hoodie's organic cotton fabric is gentle on their sensitive skin. It's been their constant companion during our escapades through The Netherlands, Germany and Sweden, keeping them warm and snug during exciting hikes and beach adventures. As parents, we're delighted to see them comfortably dressed in an eco-friendly garment that also promotes sustainable practices.

3. Marloes Bio Sunglasses:

The stunning tortoise shell Marloes Bio Sunglasses have proven to be an absolute game-changer on our trip, and I can honestly say I've never worn a pair of sunglasses so much. Made from plant-based bio-acetate, these sunglasses exemplify Eco Beach's commitment to producing eco-conscious accessories without compromising style. The UVA and UVB protected lenses shield our eyes from the Nordic sun, while the stylish design adds a touch of sophistication to my travel outfits. I find myself reaching for these sunglasses time and again, and their sustainable craftsmanship makes them even more special.

4. Rhossili Sunglasses:

Completing our stylish beach accessory collection, the Rhossili Sunglasses have become my husbands go-to choice for exploring Scandinavia's scenic landscapes. The frames are crafted from 100% sustainably sourced black bamboo, grown for this purpose., these sunglasses effortlessly blend fashion with sustainability. Their lightweight feel and comfortable fit make them ideal for long days of driving and outdoor exploration. Their polarised lenses are especially good at reducing glare from water, snow and other reflective surfaces. And the bonus is they float so they are ideal for water sports. We have used them every time we take out the paddleboard with complete confidence which is blinking lovely!

In conclusion, Eco Beach is more than just a brand; it's a beautiful embodiment of conscious living, where sustainability and style unite in perfect harmony. As we explored the first three countries on our Scandinavian van trip, the thoughtful gifts from Eco Beach accompanied us every step of the way, leaving a lasting impression on our hearts and the environment.

We're grateful for the chance to support this family business, whose passion for nature and sustainability radiates through every product they create. We are inspired to carry the ethos of Eco Beach with us, cherishing the memories made with their delightful offerings and spreading the message of responsible living wherever our wanderlust takes us.
