Purple Skies Beach Umbrella: The Complete Guide to Boho Artist-Designed Sun Shade

Introduction: Stand Out on the Sand with a Touch of Purple Magic

Purple is the color of creativity, mystery, and individuality. It's rare on the beach — which is exactly what makes the AVKARA Purple Skies Beach Umbrella so striking. While everyone else blends into a sea of red and blue, your setup becomes the one people stop to admire.

Featuring original artwork by Pearl Edward, a local Laguna Beach artist, the Purple Skies is a one-of-a-kind designer beach umbrella painted on canvas and transferred directly to the canopy. With UPF 50+ sun protection, marine-grade hardware, and a setup time of under one minute, it's as functional as it is beautiful.

This guide covers everything you need to know about the Purple Skies Beach Umbrella — its design, features, setup, and why it's the most distinctive umbrella in the AVKARA collection.

The Artist Behind the Design

The Purple Skies Beach Umbrella features original artwork by Pearl Edward, a local Laguna Beach artist celebrated for her vibrant, free-spirited style. The design was painted on canvas and transferred directly to the umbrella canopy — a process that makes each umbrella a genuine piece of original art. No two are exactly alike.

Pearl's bohemian aesthetic and deep connection to the California coastal lifestyle shine through in every piece she creates. The Purple Skies design captures a sense of wonder and individuality that sets it apart from anything else on the beach.

Key Features

Dreamy Purple Boho Design

The Purple Skies canopy features a rich, dreamy purple palette that's unlike anything else you'll find at the beach. It's a color that commands attention — artistic, bold, and deeply personal. Whether you're at the beach, a park, or an outdoor event, the Purple Skies makes your spot unmistakable and unforgettable.

UPF 50+ Canopy

The canopy provides UPF 50+ sun protection — the highest standard available for UV-protective fabrics. It blocks the vast majority of harmful UVA and UVB rays, keeping you and your family protected during extended beach sessions. The canopy is also water-resistant for shelter from light coastal showers.

Push Pop Marine-Grade Aluminum Design

Setup takes less than one minute with the Push Pop mechanism and marine-grade aluminum hardware. Marine-grade aluminum is specifically chosen for coastal environments — resistant to salt air and corrosion for reliable, long-lasting performance at the beach.

Sturdy Wooden Pole with Sand Anchor

The wooden pole provides a natural, premium aesthetic that complements the artistic design. The sand anchor drives into the sand for stable, secure placement — keeping the umbrella upright in moderate coastal breezes.

Matching Canvas Carrying Bag

The Purple Skies comes with a matching canvas carrying bag — 44" long and 10" wide — that makes transport easy and keeps the umbrella protected between uses.

Lightweight at Just 6 lbs

At only 6 pounds, the Purple Skies is easy to carry to and from the beach without fatigue.
