Welcome to Inspira8!

Kia Ora! Ben & Winston the dog here!

We just want to thank you so much for visiting our shop. I started this venture to follow my passion for both sports and design, with a goal to become self-employed doing something I truly love.

I'm passionate about ensuring all dogs have the chance to live amazing lives. I have a dog named Winston, a golden retriever (his Instagram is  @__winstonthedog if you want to follow him, haha!). He’s my best mate, through thick and thin... and there are a lot of thin moments, as I suspect his favorite pastime is annoying me—haha.

But in all seriousness, I believe in giving back, which is why 5% of all sales profits go to A Dog's Life Charitable Trust here in New Zealand, with the hope that it makes at least one pup’s life a better one each year. You can find more information here.

Again, thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and if you choose to support our wee business—a huge thank you! It really means a lot.

Feel free to look around, and let me know if you have any questions. I’m always happy to help!

Cheers,
Ben & Winston :)

“Making a successful luxury brand in nine years is genius. It’s a feat that I admire and hope to continue building upon with a rich legacy. He revolutionised streetwear and luxury that crosses generations and decades. He showed the world that the underrepresented, the underdogs and Black people, in particular, have brilliant minds and can push and compete equally in the establishment. He inspired hope and brought about change.” - Ibrahim Kamara, Art&Image Director Off-White™
