Afends are an Australian apparel company that began in Byron Bay in 2006 when two mates started selling samples from the back of their van.

Since then they’ve grown to be an internationally recognised brand, organically built from the ground up. Pioneering the hemp revolution in Australia, they’re committed to sustainable practices across their whole supply chain and champion gender equality. We chat to Founders Jono Salfield and Declan Wise about their beginnings and staying true to their roots.
