BLAK Basics is practical

BLAK Basics is practical & wearable with a fondness for spontaneity and surprise. Tauranga based Designer Teresa Hodges is at the helm of this Kiwi brand which is fast gaining coveted status.

Take a dash of grunge, dust on some 80’s influence and plenty of edgy street cred and you’re almost there.
