Physician Endorsed

As one retailer proclaimed, “While they might sound like orthopedic shoes, women flock to them like Jimmy Choos!” and this is how our story began. Created with a why look like Elmer Fudd when you can look like Audrey Hepburn philosophy, we strive to bring you sun protection with style. Our hats are designed with chemical free sun protection and adjustable sweatbands, so you can customize the fit for comfort. At Physician Endorsed you never have to sacrifice fashion for function.

NIKKI BEACH

In 1998, entrepreneur Jack Penrod introduced the world to Nikki Beach, the first and original luxury beach club concept that combines the elements of music, dining, entertainment, fashion, film and art into one. Today, as Nikki Beach marks 20 years, the brand has grown into a global, multifaceted luxury hospitality company with 14 beach clubs, 4 hotels and resorts, a lifestyle division (including fashion boutiques and a magazine), special events and Nikki Cares, a 501c3 non-profit charity. @nikkibeachworld
