🛹 Butter Goods: From Perth’s Pavement to Global Prominence

In the world of skateboarding and streetwear, few brands have carved out a niche as distinct and authentic as Butter Goods. Born from the streets of Perth, Australia, this skater-owned label has grown into a global force, blending skate culture, music, and design into a lifestyle that resonates far beyond the skatepark.

🌱 Origins: A Dream Born in Perth

Butter Goods was founded in 2008 by childhood friends and skaters Garth Mariano and Matt Evans. Frustrated by the lack of authentic skate brands in Australia and uninspired by their 9-to-5 office jobs, the duo quit their day gigs and enrolled in graphic design courses. With a shared love for skating and music—especially jazz, hip hop, and soul—they began printing tees that reflected their passions. What started as a DIY project quickly evolved into a brand that would carry the torch for Australia's skate scene.

🎨 What Makes Butter Goods Stand Out

Butter Goods is notable for its:

• Authenticity: Skater-owned and operated, the brand speaks directly to the community it serves.

• Musical Influence: Designs often pay homage to underappreciated musical legends like Yusef Lateef and Charles Mingus.

• Nineties Nostalgia: Their aesthetic channels the golden era of skateboarding, hip hop, and streetwear.

• Premium Quality: From graphic tees to cut-and-sew garments, Butter Goods is known for its craftsmanship and attention to detail.

🛹 The Skate Team: A Global Roster

Butter Goods has built a formidable skate team featuring talent from Australia, the US, and Europe. Riders past and present include:

• Philly Santosuosso

• Casey Foley

• Morgan Campbell

• Alex Schmidt

• Ben Gore

• Davide Holzknecht

• Dougie George

• Shaun Paul

• Aleka Lang

Their videos, though not full-length features, are celebrated for their eclectic soundtracks and international flair, with edits filmed across Australia, the US, UK, and Europe.

🤝 Collaborations and Sponsorships

Butter Goods has teamed up with some of the biggest names in skate and streetwear culture, including:

• Nike SB

• DC Shoes

• HUF Worldwide

• Artists like Kevin Lyons and Arswandaru Cahyo

These collaborations often blend Butter’s signature style with the partner’s legacy, resulting in limited-edition drops that sell out fast and push creative boundaries.
