CLOTHING INSPIRED BY COASTAL LIVING: A modern clothing label inspired by coastal living and a love of design. Drawing from our founder’s Japanese and Australian heritages, we blend surf and city, classic and contemporary, functional and fine crafted. The blend is authentically Banks Journal.
DESIGNED FOR FUNCTIONALITY & STYLE: We aim to take a modern approach to design with a fine regard to the details and add utility and function to everything we make. A bit of stretch here, a little waterproofing there, means we achieve functionality without sacrificing our signature understated style.
EARTH FRIENDLY: All of our tees and the bulk of our fleece are made with organic cotton. We use PVC and phthalate-free inks for all screen printing, and re-purposed soda bottles to create the polyester for all our labels, and a large portion of our boardshorts. We also use FSC-approved paper for all our swing tags.
