Franklees
There’s nothing more fun and exciting than vibrant and trendy underwear! And if you’re looking to get that special gent in your life a couple pairs to replace the holey ones (ladies, you know what we’re talking about), we know just the place. Take a look at the local underwear brand, Franklees. We absolutely love their collections of underwear, for both men and women. There’s a wide range of patterns to choose from! Think Zebra, Wild Brights, Leopard print, Retro Daisies, Zodiac, Tropical Jungle, and many others. You can take your pick of your favourite in three different underwear styles: short leg trunks; long leg trunks; or briefs. Even better, why not buy matching pairs? Cheesy, but we think it’s a cute idea!
