Holmes Bros T-shirts 
The bros grew up on the East Coast of South Africa in Durban taking full advantage of the tropical conditions surfing and hanging on the beach. 
The Holmes story started when Laurie was 14 and couldn’t get anybody to shape the boards he wanted to ride and eventually in frustration started shaping his own boards in the garage. 
His ultra thin wafers were an instant hit at the beach and soon he was shaping boards for all the boys. 
A Holmes logo was developed for the boards and it was only a short step to putting it onto t-shirts and boardshorts. The bros then went on to study fine art and textile design and started seriously getting interested in fashion. After a wild year traveling the world the dream was finalized and Laurie headed home to get it together. Starting out as a corporate clothing business with the aim to built the fashion label on the side.
