Ko wai au?
Ko Ngākohu Walker tōku ingoa. He uri au nō Te Whānau-ā-Apanui. I am an entrepreneur and my passion is inspiring the people and something that I have always loved were clothes. So I thought, why not just put the both together?
The purpose of my business is to inspire all our Rangatahi(Youth) and show them that they can do anything that they believe in. I will use this business as a vehicle to educate through a Māori perspective on all things.
The name Three Five originates from a place that I hold close to my heart. A place that has provided me with everything I have needed to get to where I am today. A place where I was born and bred, State Highway 35.
I am currently the Head Boy at Rotorua Boys' High School and this is something I pursue in my spare time.
Packaging
We use biodegradable packing bags here at ThreeFive Clothing.
The reason for doing this is because we want to look after Papatuanuku, as we are her Kaitiaki (guardians). Papatuanuku is mother nature and she provides us with land and the abundance of nutrients that feeds our hunger and replenishes our wairua. By using biodegradable bags and being eco-friendly we can help maintain the beauty of our mother.
