Designed in collaboration with Worimi-Biripi artist Jake Simon, the Banma men’s swim brief has been designed exclusively for Gali Swimwear.

Each 'wave' of colour accentuates the wearers form by carrying the viewers eye around the body. The flowing thickness of the purples, blues and greens are symbolic of peaceful and tranquil - reflective of the balance between the aerial, aquatic and terrestrial plains of Worimi Country.

Crafted from high-quality recycled materials, the Banma swim brief not only looks beautiful but also performs and feels comfortable. Perfect for swimming, lounging, and long days at the beach. 

  • Made in Australia
  • Premium recycled material
  • Chlorine, saltwater and sun cream resistant
  • Fully lined in front
  • White internal drawstring

Available in two cuts:

  • Yuli (6.5cm side width)
  • Buligaa (4cm side width)

Artwork Story

This artwork is associated with the land, sea and skies of the Worimi Aboriginal people on the east-coast of Australia.

In Aboriginal culture the skyscape was believed to be a reflection of the land and waterways that fell beneath it. Some Aboriginal communities would describe the galactical Milky Way as a river running through the sky.

In Jake’s artwork the vibrant ‘waves’ of colour are symbolic of the aerial, aquatic and terrestrial plains. The shifting thickness of each wave speaks to the constant ebbing and flowing of the connection between Worimi country and the heavens.

The bright purples, blues and greens represent the balanced peace and tranquillity associated with this connection.
