Meet the #UNC alumni who created ShibumiShade 🏖️

In 2016, Scott Barnes ’12, Dane Barnes ’09 and Alex Slater ’09 tested their first prototype at midnight on a North Carolina beach, sparking a global brand with Tar Heel roots. The name “Shibumi” comes from both their Chapel Hill apartment and a Japanese design principle focused on simplicity. Now, they’ve sold more than 300,000 and expanded to hundreds of beaches.

Learn how three Tar Heels turned a late-night idea into a world-renowned brand ☀️
