For a truly one-of-a-kind gift, be sure to check out Del Sol, where you’ll find apparel, accessories, toys, and totes. What makes Del Sol so unique is that all their products change color in the sun, which we get a lot of in San Diego! They put special Spectrachrome color-changing crystals in their merchandise to create this unusual effect; they’ll be happy to explain the process to you while you shop!

Del Sol is a pioneer in designing, manufacturing, and marketing T-shirts, sweatshirts and many other products that incorporate proprietary inks and related technical processes that have certain “color change” characteristics when exposed to ultraviolet light. Numerous trademarks have been registered including “Just Add Sun,” 100% WOW,” and “Sun-Powered.” Although T-shirts have been the bloodline of the Del Sol business, many other products continue to be developed such as golf shirts, sweatshirts, hats, tote bags, jewelry, nail polish, hair accessories, frisbees and assorted small gift items.

Del Sol’s products are known around the world for their unique color changing process. The original Del Sol products have been around since 1994. Since then, technicians have worked continually to improve and upgrade the products, adding new items on a regular basis. Because of this, you can find something new in their Seaport Village location every time you visit Sunny San Diego.
