>FREAKware by mr FREAK

>On the lookout for something a little bit different, a little bit alternative and always one of a kind? We think we’ve found what you’re looking for! Here we have it… Mr Freak.


The crew at Mr Freak are firmly against following the trend. Producing high quality unique hand-made threads that will see you stand out from the crowd! They’re part of Wellington’s fashion underground and we’ll be bringing you more on this fantastic group in coming posts.


Mr Freak garments are constructed around  suits, taking the formal threads from the office and turning them into something outstanding. This isn’t recycling, it’s upcycling and we love it!
