Here we have Nelissa, the last of the aFreaka Big 5. She is a cute little feline who loves cuddling and enjoying the great outdoors. Climbing ranks as her number one past time and just lazing around and relaxing brings her ultimate joy.

Bringing joy to others is what aFreak is all about.

The idea behind aFREAKa and their philosophy is that everybody should be able to be whatever they want to be, even if only for a short while. And sometimes we are different things to different people, making it difficult to label us or clearly define us. So with our onesies we would like to provide you with an opportunity to explore that inner freak and become part of aFREAKa!

Competition Time!

At the end of the week one lucky reader could walk away with this awesome vest courtesy of aFreaka.


Follow @versatilelyleblog and @afreaka on instagram and post a selfie with your favourite animal with the hashtag #VersatileLyle and #aFreakaSummer. It can be your pet, your neighbours pet, a toy, a fluffy teddy, any animal really. Good Luck!

He might be huge, he might be massive, he might be strong but in reality Frank is a real softy. Frank has a keen ear for classical music and loves walking around with his headphones on. Only problem Frank has is that he constantly has to purchase new headphones. You see Frank has a bit of a huge ear problem but that hasn't stopped him from being awesome. Frank also loves sipping on cocktails down at the nearest watering-hole. Frank is one of the coolest elephants around.


As diverse as Frank is, so too is the aFreaka Clothing brand.

 aFREAKa offers 80 different animal / character designs (52 of which are available here), which are all made from polar fleece, making them super comfortable and easy to wear.  For those who are not quite ready for the full animal suit, we also offer animal hats which will keep your head nice and warm during the colder nights. Remember: Winter is coming!

If animal onesies are not really your thing, they also offer our range of INYE onesies. INYEs are stylish and comfortable one-piece suits with a full-body sipper and pockets. They have a total of 20 different designs (but not all offered on the online store as yet).

Of course they also cater for children. The kid onesies are made specifically for their little fans. And as their onesies are top quality, they will last much longer than cheap imitations.

All our products are machine-washable at 40°C. But do not tumble dry.

The King of the Jungle has always had a keen eye for all things fashion and when he stumbled upon the aFreaka Clothing range he just could not contain his excitement.

He immediately ordered his royal subjects to get the designers over at aFreaka to design a onesie fit for a king and the result made the king rejoice!

From one jungle to another find out where aFreaka is located.

The team operates from Cape Town, which is also where all products are designed and manufactured. Sales are predominantly done online, but a great number of onesies have also found new owners at festivals, or through selected shops in and around Cape Town. Through our online store and the marvel of modern infrastructure, we are able to sell and deliver our products to anywhere in South Africa, promoting the country to become a onesie nation.

This is Arnold, he is an aFreaka brand ambassador (or so he is led to believe he is actually just a logo but shhhh), he is also fond of roaming around on open plains, he loves reading old Archie comic books and most importantly he is a buffalo.

Now that we know who Arnold is who is aFreaka?

The team consists of Ole and Josh. Ole is the company's founder and creative mind behind many of our designs. Some of you will have met Ole at music festivals where he has been representing aFREAKa and showcasing our South African onesie range, and many of you will have already chatted to him via our various social media platforms. Also part of the team is Josh who is responsible for running the shop, sourcing & sales. aFREAKa was launched in 2011 and has established itself as the premium supplier of onesies in South Africa.

All of this week I will be featuring the Big 5 animals which represent aFREAKa Clothing, which for the most part of their existence have been known primarily for their awesome onesie range. They have more than just onesies on offer and with summer on the way they have some cool caps and vests to keep you cool on those hot days. So let's make this summer an #aFreakaSummer!

Where it all began...

In 2011 aFREAKa's founder, Ole, had an animal costume made for himself before heading on a road trip (a black cat). He spent each day (and night) in his animal onesie, driving, shopping, fishing, hiking and realised how amazingly comfortable (and practical) this onesie actually was. What was a little surprising at first was the overwhelming response from onlookers, who showed a keen interest in the animal suits. When more and more started asking where one could buy these in South Africa, the idea for aFREAKa Clothing was born.

Who is the Freak?

The idea behind aFREAKa and our philosophy is that everybody should be able to be whatever they want to be, even if only for a short while. And sometimes we are different things to different people, making it difficult to label us or clearly define us. Our FREAK represents exactly this. He has the ears of a rabbit, the horn of a rhino, the tail of a pig and the feet of an elephant. He is a little bit of everything, perhaps just like you; perhaps just like us. So with our onesies we would like to provide you with an opportunity to explore that inner freak and become part of aFREAKa!

However as time would have it and with the ever present poaching taking place, The Freak has taken on the responsibility of bringing about rhino awareness and is now is a fully pledged Rhinoceros.
