  • MADE FOR SeaVees

    THE LEGEND SERIES

     

    IT TAKES A LEGEND. SeaVees was born in 1964. After seven years the brand was shuttered and long forgotten. Nearly 40 years later, a vintage shoe was unearthed in a Tokyo thrift store and the brand was resurrected. Over the course of 2014, we are celebrating our rightful 50th anniversary by teaming up with select legends (and legends-in-the-making) to create limited edition items that embody the spirit of SeaVees and the authentic era of 1960s California. Sold exclusively on SeaVees.com, all proceeds will go to the charity of the collaborator's choice. The partnerships, the products and the causes will make for a legendary year.

    Make Smith's involvement: We designed Limited Edition SeaVees inspired belts, key chains and iPhone covers are for sale NOW exclusively at SeaVees.com. All proceeds will benefit the Hispanic Scholarship Fund.

  • GIFT IDEAS FOR YOUR GRADUATE

    Though I'm not sure nothing could compare to the Ferrari you bribed your child with to get them through college, I feel like these three pieces would be a good place to start. In our opinion, leather is always the right answer, but maybe we're a little biased (wink wink). We pieced together this little shopping guide to help you make some quick decisions that wont go out of style.

    1. Key Chain / 2. Envelope Wallet / 3. Shopping Tote
