BONK is a Kenyan clothing company, famous for its T-shirts, Bags, and Accessories. All products are designed and produced in Kenya, by a relatively sozzled bunch of Kenyan friends. When not designing tees, they’ll usually be found in their lab experimenting with the next cure for the common hangover.
