Mambo

Mambo is an Australian surf and streetwear label launched in Sydney in 1984 by Phantom Records founder Dare Jennings with partner Andrew Rich. It brought art and humour to a logo-driven surf industry, commissioning artists such as Reg Mombassa, Gerry Wedd and Maria Kozic for loud printed button-up shirts, graphic tees and board shorts, fronted by Richard Allen's farting-dog logo. Now a subsidiary of Caprice Australia, it sells as a budget line at retailer Big W, with tees around AU$20, while vintage Loud Shirts trade as collectibles.
