About the shorts
Working on the new Barbican exhibition Designing 007 – Fifty years of Bond style, costume designer Lindy Hemming approached Sunspel to recreate the shorts that evoke the early Bond films.

The shorts form part of a then and now element of the exhibition including the swimming shorts worn by Daniel Craig in Casino Royale alongside Sean Connery’s shorts (produced by Sunspel).

New competition
Enter the new Sunspel competition to win a 1959 first edition of Ian Fleming’s ‘Goldfinger’ and your size in the new Sky colourway of our Riviera Polo Shirt.

Sunspel’s story with James Bond began in 2006 when Lindy Hemming commissioned the English heritage label to create pieces for Daniel Craig in Casino Royale.

Hemming has a long-standing relationship with the brand having worked together on film & theatre since her days with the RSC and National Theatre in London. When working on Casino Royale Hemming once again turned to Sunspel. As Sunspel still own and operate their own factory in Long Eaton in the north of England they were able to design and create a bespoke polo and T shirt for the film. The Daniel Craig block still exists and is used to make the now famous Riviera Polo.
