Prince: Where The River Runs Deep
Grafton, in the heart of the Clarence Valley, left an imprint on me that shaped my story. The Prince swim brief captures the town’s jacaranda haze, winding rivers, and childhood summers, carrying a piece of home wherever you go. Discover how Prince brings the spirit of Grafton to life in the Origins collection.
Hunter: Where Steel Meets Surf
Named after Hunter Street, the spine of Newcastle, this design captures the city’s duality; raw and refined, coastal yet industrial. There’s a toughness to Newcastle that’s been softened by the sea. Every pair of Smithers tells a story, and Hunter tells one of balance: steel and surf, effort and ease, work and weekend. It’s an ode to a place whose strength, resilience, and character have shaped not just the landscape, but also how I approach design, understand masculinity, and value creating things that endure.
Introducing Jacaranda: The Ninth Member of Incognito
Introducing Jacaranda, the ninth solid colour in our Incognito collection. A rich purple inspired by Grafton’s iconic Jacaranda trees and Sydney’s springtime bloom. This release connects the beauty of Australian landscapes with bold design.
Q&A WITH THE SPEEDO MOVEMENT
Question time with Cody from the Speedo Movement. We chat about the hatching of Smithers, the challenges, the future, the logic behind each collection, body positivity, and uncover the source of inspiration for the Smithers brand.
