Founded in 2004 by Bowdoin College roommates Peter Smathers Carter and Austin Branson, Smathers & Branson was born after the founders received hand-stitched needlepoint belts as gifts and recognized a gap in the market for the classic accessory. Headquartered in Maryland, the brand has become the preeminent name in men's needlepoint accessories, bringing a traditional, WASPy aesthetic to a broader audience.
