Meet The Freak!
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.
