Get familiar with the second phase of Afends ‘Create Not Destroy’ initiative.

Following on from their Nirvana Selwood capsule and showcase, Afends are once again eyeing off and celebrating local talent as part of their ‘Create Not Destroy’ program. This time they’ve teamed up with surfer/artist/tattooist and creative volcano Tito La Vole who’s created the limited edition ‘Weeding Services 420/7’ collection.

The idea for the collection – tees, a singlet, socks, caps and totes – came about when Tito found himself working as a gardener during Covid. He dreamt up a quirky self-portrait of how he pictured himself during this time, creating the graphic featured on the hero tee. Having left gardening in the rear-view to focus on his creative pursuits, the image is kind of a weird monument to the Covid days.

On top of the capsule, Tito’s work will also feature at an exhibition tomorrow night at the Afends Byron Bay store, kicking off at 6pm. Check out ‘Weeding Services 420/7’ below and head here to shop it now:
