WAYNE: The Wagon is a great outlet for small brands, They cater to the stylish individuals in an urban community. Back in the day you had to go all the way to the city for that new hot s*#t, The Wagon saves you that train or bus fare you using to get to the city. They give us small brands an opportunity to showcase our talent and get it out to the public.
THE WAGON: Tell us about your brand.
WAYNE: Our Vision for The Reckless Rebels surfaced from the idea of simply living life the way we want. The Reckless Rebels represent the artists, the designers, the naturally creative and artistic individuals; but more importantly it represents those that just want to Be and are not afraid of Being. Not boasting about style or letting ego take control; we aim to produce quality goods that represents the Reckless Rebels lifestyle. The clothing not only represents the lifestyle but it also represents what inspires us, which is Art & Design. People produce Brands everyday, We make this one count.
