Had its first batch of stock, which sold out in a matter of hours. With the use of social networking, hype. Quickly developed into something that could no longer be tamed from the single room it was created in. Within months, hype. Had started to evolve into one of the uk’s most recognisable brands. Housing itself in the heart of the midlands taking on a new premises in leicester, overlooking design, production and distribution in-house. The hype store opened in boxpark in the summer of 2013, and can now be found stocked in a number of stores worldwide. What started with a lighter inscribed: ‘get your own fucking lighter’, and a simple script over an oral print t-shirt has snowballed into what hype. Is today. We’ve come a long way as a brand since just selling t-shirts. Our complete range now covers men, women and kids, and sells a lot more than just t-shirts and backpacks. We push ourselves as a lifestyle brand and our products include pretty much everything you can wear. This success has since led to the opening of a number of other stand alone stores. Having first set up at boxpark (the worlds first pop-up mall) as a pop up for three months, this has now developed into a permanent flagship store. Residing in shoreditch area of london, showcase the most current pieces from our collection and limited stock. Hav
