Arora To The Rescue Story
Designing with love for the beach life
A Passion For Ocean Conservation
​
With a passion for ocean conservation and all things beach-related, sisters and co-founders of beachlife by jan barwick and Bairiki by Jan Barwick, Jan and Miranda aim to spread their love for the sea one stylish piece at a time.
​
By diving into a new adventure with dear friends, David and his sister Alicia Penn, now the distributors of both beachlife and BairikibyjanBarwick, the sisters had dreams of expanding the eco-conscious brand throughout the
islands.
​
The dream has begun, starting in the brand new beachlifebyjanbarwick pop-up shop in the Penns fabulous rum shop and emporium, 'That's the Spirit' in Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbor. ‘We’ve reconnected with our roots in the British Virgin Islands’, says Miranda, ‘Let's protect the sea and support the local economy together!’
More recently beachlife and the Penns entered into another exciting partnership, this time with ARKBVI. Headed by Shannon Gore, ARKBVI ensures the sustainability of the British Virgin Islands, with an emphasis on reef restoration and the protection of sea
turtles. A cause which resonated deeply with the four of us. This collaboration with ARKBVI is more than just a partnership, it's a promise to protect the ocean and its inhabitants for generations to come, by supporting the construction of a state-of-the-art sea turtle rescue facility and hospital for sick and injured turtles, a longtime dream of Shannon’s.
​
ARORA TO THE RESCUE!
​
We chose to name her Arora, a Kiribati word meaning to stretch out as with a hand. It’s also the word used to describe a ridge in the coral reef on the ocean side of a lagoon.
​
As the ambassador for beachlife’s partnership with ARKBVI, Arora has her very own collection and a portion of all her sales will be contributed to Shannon’s project.
The collection, which includes beach towels, tote bags, puzzles, journals, coasters, postcards and bucket hats is available both online and at various outlets throughout the islands.
​
Each time you choose an Arora product in beachlifebyjanbarwick, you're contributing to the preservation of our planet's most precious resource. Every single Arora beach towel, tote bag, puzzle, journal, coaster, postcard, or bucket hat sold will not only support ARKBVI’s project but will also raise awareness about the
importance of marine conservation.
Let’s protect our precious sea whilst supporting our local economy... Whether it's through sustainable practices, eco-friendly products, or supporting local organizations like ARKBVI, we're committed to making a difference.
So, dive into the world of beachlife by jan barwick, where ocean meets passion and purpose meets play. Together, we can create a wave of change whilst making a positive impact on our planet's future.
Come and join us on this tropical adventure!
