About HYPE.
In 2011 HYPE. set out on a mission of lifestyle dominance. The words ‘Get Your Own’ inscribed onto a lighter, and a simple script over a floral-printed tee was the catalyst in turning HYPE. into a household name and become an instantly recognisable global brand.
HYPE.’s mission started in Leicester but can now be found in over 175 UK stockists and 27 territories worldwide and counting. Through conquering countries worldwide, HYPE. has been recognised in the Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100 as one of Britain’s fastest growing private companies.
Fast forward 10 years, having featured in many media publications including: Hypebeast, High Snobiety, GQ, Men’s Health, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Complex and Wonderland. With celebrities and high-profile personnel across the globe representing the brand: Jay-Z, 50 Cent & Winnie Harlow to Tom Hardy, Cara Delevingne & Maya Jama.
To couple the success over the last 10 years, HYPE. are doing everything they can to help improve the conditions of the planet where possible. So far over 180,000 trees have been planted as part of their climate positive change campaign and with every order will continue to plant a tree and grow the HYPE. Forest.
Sticking true to the roots, HYPE. are still fixed in Leicester with an office space to match the brand persona – modern mixed with nostalgia. 2020 birthed a new and improved update for HYPE. with the introduction of “JustHYPE.” on our Scribble set collections designed for adults with a more luxe feel and look.
2021 introduced the first ever UK Flagship store in London’s thriving Carnaby Street. Catering to adults, kids and accessories with non-gender specific designs, expressing individuality and personality through HYPE. products.
