What to know about Sand Cloud
Turkish cotton towels came first
The founders started by sewing pillows onto beach towels, then moved to flat Turkish cotton towels — the product the brand still builds everything else around.
Beach goods, not a clothing line
Apparel exists, but the range is anchored in home and lifestyle: printed and striped towels, blankets, bags, sun care and home goods.
Marine conservation is built in
A share of profits goes to marine conservation groups, and the brand has run capsules with ocean nonprofits including Surfrider.

Brand facts
Sand Cloud is a San Diego beach lifestyle label founded in 2014 by San Diego State friends Brandon Leibel, Steven Ford and Bruno Aschidamini, who started by sewing pillows onto beach towels before shifting to flat Turkish cotton towels. A 2016 Shark Tank appearance accelerated growth. The line now spans printed and striped towels, blankets, apparel, bags, sun care and home goods, sold direct online and through wholesale. The brand donates a share of profits to marine conservation groups and runs collaborations, including a Surfrider capsule.
