Company Overview

Wallaroo Company was founded in 1999 by Stephanie Carter and Lenya Shore, who were inspired by their travels to Australia and the laid-back lifestyle they experienced there. The name "Wallaroo" originates from a town in South Australia, which the founders had visited during their travels. This name was chosen because they felt it captured the spirit of adventure and exploration that they wanted to embody in their brand.

Wallaroo offers a wide selection of different styles, including fedoras, sun hats, visors, bucket hats, cowboy hats, and unisex options. Made with UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 50+ fabrics, which provide excellent sun protection for you during the heat rising in the coming months. Beyond their focus on sun protection, Wallaroo is completely committed to sustainability. By using eco-friendly materials in its products, such as recycled polyester and organic cotton, they are conscious about the environment, and their consumers.
