For me, it’s the strangers who come back with results and gratitude after you have helped them that gives me goosebumps and makes me want to help even more #PassItForward 🙏🏽
Never in our wildest dreams did we think we’d one day collaborate with the very schools we used to watch on TV.
From grinding in the ghetto to walking through their gates as creatives. God really did His thing. Takatyora paghetto, and now we’re here 🙏🏽🔥

The UNTOLD STORY OF HATIPERI 🫡🙏🏼
I remember the days we used to sell t-shirts out of a duffle bag, walking from downtown to uptown roughly 20-30km a day making rounds. The first year was easy because no one really knew us. But then came the days we started gaining traction on social media. During delivery rounds, we’d meet people who recognized us some would ask for pictures, others would just say, ‘Ah, ndiye hatiperi wacho? Ko arikuita sei ku downtown?’
We didn’t have a car back then. Even in the combis, you could tell people were talking after we got off. But we didn’t mind buying a dollar plate of sadza, bro. We knew what we were saving for. We knew where we were going. We knew what we were building.
If it was about cars, we could’ve bought them in the early years of hustling but we stayed focused and kept reinvesting in the business.
But look at God now. You can say that again :
If you don’t adapt to new circumstances, trends, or progress, you risk becoming irrelevant.
Tomorrow, we are dropping the 4/4 Hatiperi baggy T-shirt collection. The first of the four is a T-shirt that tells the story of where the journey began in the ‘duffle bag,’ which used to be our shop.
This drop also includes a compilation of both failed and successful designs. It’s business, but we sat down and agreed on what’s about to hit the streets starting this year.
A big S/O to everyone who has been part of this journey. May God bless the merchandise.
In God, Hatiperi!
