A Retro Gem That Shines Through Decades
A Fusion of Nature's Treasures
Immerse yourself in a retro wave of cool blues and greens with Smithers' Ocean Jewel swim briefs from the Sway collection—a true masterpiece of design that bridges the carefree rebellion of the 60s with the groovy patterns of the 70s. Inspired by gemstones and the endless rhythm of the ocean, this swim brief exudes a sense of timelessness, reimagined for the modern man.
Gemstones, Grooves, and the Sea: A Fusion of Nature and Retro Energy
At the heart of the Ocean Jewel design lies a dazzling fusion of nature’s treasures and retro energy. The shimmering blues and rich greens evoke the brilliance of oceanic gemstones—think aquamarine and emerald, glistening like waves catching the sunlight. These hues don’t just symbolise nature’s beauty but also embody the strength, energy, and timeless quality that have been forged over decades. Much like the enduring allure of gemstones, this swim brief radiates a sense of timeless cool.
But the story doesn’t stop there. The Ocean Jewel also channels the free-spirited energy of the 60s and 70s. Drawing inspiration from two iconic decades, it captures the vibrancy of an era that sparked both cultural revolutions and artistic innovation. The bold, undulating lines and geometric waves tip their hat to the psychedelic prints that defined the time—patterns that reflect a love for self-expression, individuality, and personal exploration. From the beats of Jimi Hendrix to the countercultural movements that shaped history, the spirit of change and freedom flows through every thread of this design.
The Endless Rhythm of the Ocean
Still, there’s no escaping the rhythmic pulse of the ocean. This design, with its flowing wave-like patterns, captures the endless rhythm of the tides—a reminder of how fashion, like the sea, is cyclical. The retro patterns have been refreshed for today, embodying the never-ending motion of the water, just as the currents of style have flowed from the past into the present. Each curve in the design mirrors the hypnotic movement of the ocean, pulling you in like a wave beckoning to the shore.
Crafted with Retro Sophistication
Much like the luxurious gemstones that inspired its colours, the Ocean Jewel swim briefs are designed with impeccable craftsmanship. Made from eco-friendly, high-performance fabrics, this swim brief offers the perfect fit, maximum comfort, and durability. Whether you’re diving into the waves or soaking up the sun, the swim briefs will move with you—just like the carefree spirit of the 60s.
And because we know that quality matters, we’ve ensured this swimsuit is UV-protective, chlorine-resistant, and quick-drying. That means you can rely on the Ocean Jewel to stay bold, bright, and comfortable wear after wear. Handcrafted in Sydney, Australia, we’re proud to keep our swimwear locally made and globally styled.
