Sunshine Tienda is a Texas-based lifestyle brand that was founded in 2014 by identical twin sisters Laura and Amanda Ernst who blended their backgrounds in product development with a shared passion for travel and design.

Centered around the phrase “Be Vacation Happy,” Sunshine Tienda offers sun hats, statement jewelry, resort-ready apparel, sarongs, and bags that evoke the spirit of warm-weather getaways. Their signature palm‑woven hats are thoughtfully handcrafted by female artisans in Guatemala using natural materials, and offer UPF 50+ sun protection—combining style, storytelling, and social impact in every piece.
