The Joy of GoldenOur

The GoldenOur Story
GoldenOur isn't
a time of day.
It's a state of mind.

A warmth and a charisma you carry with you.

GoldenOur is named after the joy of golden hour, just before sunset, where the sun's warmth makes everything and everyone magical. It isn't a fleeting moment that happens twice a day, nor a season that occurs once a year. It's a state of mind, rooted in joy, not material possessions, not major milestones. Something rooted in timelessness.

The thought behind what brings people genuine joy became a single question: what's your GoldenOur? That question designed the hat. Most sun hats won't actually block the sun. Most are made with polyester and are far from fun to wear. So we made something different: no microplastics, no shortcuts. A cotton and linen blend, woven tightly enough to earn a certified UPF 50 rating naturally, blocking up to 99% of UV rays, free from chemical coatings.

The wide brim covers your face, neck, and scalp, so you can stay out longer without thinking twice. It folds flat for travel. And when the wind picks up, the adjustable chin strap keeps it exactly where you put it.

"Most hats weren't built with true sun protection in mind. This one was."

GoldenOur Is
Outdoor shower season
Salty hair and no cares
Sandy paws and coffee walks with Tuck
A beach nap and nowhere to be
No GPS, no problem
Dinner parties and dancing 'til dawn
Chasing sunsets
The Founder's GoldenOur
Anne Laughlin

GoldenOur started with a question Anne couldn't shake: why does sun protection have to look like a compromise? Before this, she spent over a decade shaping brand voices in beauty, wellness, and fashion, running PR and marketing at Marc Jacobs Beauty and Ralph Lauren, before founding Sloane, a creative strategy and content agency.

After trading New York PR for entrepreneurship in LA, her endless summers became a ritual: Nantucket mornings, European adventures, solo travel across global beaches. Every UPF hat she tried made her choose between protecting her skin and having fun. So she gave the sun hat a stylish upgrade.

The deeper mission is to help everyone step into the mindset of summer and their very own GoldenOur. Not the big milestones, not the material possessions, not a time of year. The moments that capture the glistening joy of golden hour. What's your GoldenOur?
