Started in Auckland , New Zealand and Born from the idea that what is worn and what is created helps to build bridges between people.
The 482, is not just a random collection of numbers, but a code that holds a special meaning. The numbers represent the letters H-U-B, which ties into our ultimate goal as a brand. We aim to build a creative space where people can follow their passions, dreams and express themselves through our clothing. Additionally, in Arabic, حب (hub) means love, and we believe that love and community are essential ingredients for any creative pursuit.
At The 482, we strive to produce high-quality clothing that combines traditional Middle Eastern design elements with modern streetwear. We believe that fashion is not just about what you wear, but also about how it makes you feel, and what it connects you to.
Just a few words by our founder Mustafa Qureshi: I wanted to start The482 to be able to eventually build spaces that could help facilitate the creative dreams of anyone and funding this with a clothing brand that I would be proud to wear. So when you buy something from this brand just know its going into building something that will be used to help the new generation create. This is my story in clothes, an Indian Muslim living a global life and bringing it all into the garments I hope will resonate with others.
