PROJECT SNAPSHOT
Turn Maloney's established barber-shop identity and Otis Frizzell artwork into a coherent merch range customers can actually buy and wear.
The collection was structured across tees, crews and hoodies with red and blue artwork variants, giving the brand multiple products without losing a consistent visual system.
The range is live across eight products and continues to generate verified storefront activity across multiple designs.
A good merch or uniform system should be easy to launch, easy to reorder and measurable once customers start interacting with it. These signals show that progression without publishing private commercial figures.
Since 2003, Maloney’s has been more than a barber shop. It has become a cornerstone of Auckland’s grooming scene, built around skill, character and connection.
The goal for the merchandise range was to take that established identity and the Otis Frizzell artwork connected to the shop and turn it into products customers could genuinely buy and wear.
The collection was structured across tees, crews and hoodies with red and blue artwork variants. That created variety across the range while keeping the visual system coherent and recognisably Maloney’s.
The result is an eight-product collection that gives the shop a consistent merchandise system rather than a one-off print run, while verified storefront activity continues to build around the different designs.
