Mitch Connelly founder of the local clothing brand Flayme Industries is raising money for Coast Shelter this month as a way to help alleviate homelessness on the Central Coast.
There’s a heartfelt reason Mitch is doing this.
Having been helped by Coast Shelter as a younger man, he thought he could now give back by donating two dollars of every item he sells in July.
Flayme Industries is a two year old company with a big social conscience says Mitch who promotes clean culture through his designer branded clothing at his shop in Chruch St, Terrigal.
“Coast Shelter helped me out when I was younger, staying at a lot of refuges and so on..
“Now that I’ve built this streetwear brand, I want to help out and give back to Coast Shelter”
Mitch talked passionately about the brand of t-shirts, caps and streetwear he has developed over the last two years.
“I’ve always wanted to build a brand, working up the idea for about 10 years now.
“It’s all about family and community, I didn’t want it to be a blingy brand”
Flayme Industries has a new shopfront at Chuch Street in Terrigal which is proving popular with locals already.
