Butter Goods Brand History
Back in 2007, when childhood friends Garth Mariano and Matt Evans found themselves trapped in uninspiring office jobs in Perth, they made a decision that would change Australian skateboarding forever. Remembering childhood dreams of starting their own skate brand, the kind every kid who grew up skating and drawing logos on school files fantasised about, they quit their day jobs, enrolled in graphic design courses and launched Butter Goods in 2008.
The early years were proper DIY: screen printing tees in garages, drawing inspiration from the Australian skate brands they'd grown up loving. Butter's breakthrough came through a unique blend of influences, 90s skateboarding aesthetics, jazz album artwork and hip-hop culture. Collaborations with the Miles Davis estate and Charles Mingus foundation proved Butter was about more than clothing; they were building cultural bridges between skateboarding and the arts, alongside collabs with Nike SB, DC Shoes, HUF and Umbro. From printing tees for friends to opening their Lo-Fi store in Perth and launching Cash Only, Butter Goods proved that genuine passion and relentless dedication to quality could conquer the world from the most isolated city on earth.
Butter Goods Skate Team
Butter's international team reads like a roll call of the most stylish skaters of the modern era: Philly Santosuosso, New Zealand's Casey Foley, Morgan Campbell, Alex Schmidt, Ben Gore, Taylor Nawrocki, Italy's Davide Holzknecht, the UK's Dougie George, Portugal's Adilson Pedro and Germany's Aleka Lang.
What makes this team special is a shared aesthetic vision, skaters who understand that style and substance have to go hand in hand. Their video parts, shot across Australia, Europe and the US, showcase raw footage set to carefully curated soundtracks reflecting the brand's deep musical influences, from underground jazz to classic hip-hop.
