Australia - Land Down Under
by Emily Carroll
Pack the esky. Fire up the barbie. We’re heading Down Under.
Knobby’s Around the World journey continues with Land Down Under, a celebration of Australia packed with some of the country’s most recognisable icons, all given the unmistakable Sindy Sinn treatment.
Koalas, kangaroos, crocs, cockatoos, the Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, thongs, surf culture and a few very Australian extras collide in a print that feels like Australia turned all the way up.
Designed once again by Australian illustrator Sindy Sinn, Land Down Under is the next passport stamp in our Around the World series.
Available in men’s and women’s styles.
Welcome Down Under
There’s a lot more to Australia than kangaroos and throwing something on the barbie. But we weren’t exactly going to leave either off the moodboard.
Land Down Under takes the familiar symbols of Australian life and throws them together in one seriously packed print.
There’s the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Kangaroos, koalas, crocs and cockatoos. Thongs, surfboards, road signs, footy, camping gear and plenty of nods to life outdoors.
And naturally, there are enough unmistakably Aussie details scattered throughout to make sure you know exactly where we’ve landed.
Set against deep green with hits of golden yellow and black, it takes inspiration from classic Australian colours without simply wrapping you in a flag.
Meet the Artist: Sindy Sinn
If the style looks familiar, there’s a good reason. Sindy Sinn is back for another stop on our Around the World tour.
The Australian illustrator and mural artist has brought his signature combination of punchy graphics, nostalgic iconography and densely packed details to the series once again.
For Land Down Under, Sindy didn’t have to look too far for inspiration, building a visual checklist of the places, animals and everyday icons that make Australia instantly recognisable.
Look once and you’ll spot a koala. Look again and you might find the Opera House, a crocodile, a pair of thongs or another tiny detail tucked amongst the chaos.
That’s half the fun of a Sindy Sinn print there’s always something else hiding in there.
Around the World, Back Home
Our Around the World series has taken us across borders, celebrating different destinations through the eyes of artists.
This time, we’re bringing it home. The series takes the places, traditions and cultural icons people know and turns them into something you probably wouldn’t find in your average travel guide. Or your average undie drawer.
Every destination gets its own personality. Every design gets its own interpretation. And every stop gives us another excuse to make some ridiculously fun underwear.
