About Us

Hello, I am Farisa, founder of Funrah.com - and, like many small business owners, I’m building this little dream one step at a time, with plenty of help, encouragement and a healthy dose of determination along the way.

The idea for Funrah.com began a few years ago when I was looking for sun-protection hats for my two boys, who were 7 and 4 at the time. I remember being surprised by how little variety there seemed to be. There were plenty of choices here and there, but finding headwear that was practical, comfortable, appealing and something my boys would actually want to wear wasn’t always easy.

That experience got me thinking: surely Australian families deserve more choice.

And that simple thought eventually became Funrah.com.

Our aim is straightforward — to bring Australian families affordable, stylish and practical headwear that fits naturally into everyday life. Whether it’s a day at school, a weekend at the park, a family outing, a trip to the beach or simply enjoying the Australian outdoors, we want our hats to be something you’re happy to reach for again and again.

From an idea to something real

I had never ventured into a business of my own before, so starting Funrah.com was certainly a daunting decision. There have been plenty of moments when I’ve questioned myself, second guessed a decision or wondered whether I was taking on more than I could handle.

Then our first inventory arrived.

Seeing our logo printed on the products for the very first time was a small moment, but for me, it was enormous. It made the idea feel real. And then came our very first sale - a moment I will never forget. There is something incredibly special about knowing that someone you have never met has chosen to buy something that you created and believed in.

That feeling continues to be one of the biggest motivations behind what we do.

A family journey

Building a business as a woman and a sole entrepreneur certainly comes with its challenges. The online market is competitive, and there is a lot to learn - from finding the right suppliers and developing designs to understanding technology, marketing and everything that happens behind the scenes.

Technology has become an important part of that journey. It has allowed me to connect with suppliers, discover new ideas, develop our designs and, most importantly, connect with families across Australia.

Of course, it hasn’t always been easy. There have been technical hurdles, financial challenges and more than a few learning curves along the way. But I believe that if you care about what you are creating and are willing to keep learning, you can build something meaningful. 

And I certainly haven't done it alone.

My husband and my two boys have been part of the journey from the beginning. They help with campaign ideas, lend their voices to our advertisements and, perhaps most importantly, give me campaign ideas, lend their voices to our advertisements and, perhaps most importantly, give me their very honest opinions when we're deciding which products and designs to pursue!

Made for Australian families

At Funrah.com, we’re not trying to be just another online headwear store.

We’re a small Australian business, built around a simple idea: everyday hats should be practical, comfortable, affordable and stylish enough to become part of family life.

Every product we choose is considered with Australian families in mind, and every step of this journey is taken with care.

Thank you for visiting Funrah.com, for supporting a small business, and for being part of our story.

With love,
Farisa
