our story

harry & pop is a passionate family production.

lauren and ben’s child was the inspiration behind the brand.

as a family, they live for weekend escapes to their favourite beachside hideaway.

lauren became increasingly frustrated by the lack of sun protective swimwear for children that was also stylish. it was impossible to find.

it happened organically.

an idea lead lauren to endless research, late nights and eventually a letter of resignation from her day job.

more than 12 months later harry & pop launched.

lauren, now founder and creative director of harry & pop, worked in strategic communications and marketing for a sustainability company before taking the leap.

ben, by night, is harry & pop’s biggest fan, encourager, fellow wine drinker and computer-problem-fixer.
