I have a sneak­ing sus­pi­cion the Masked Bar­fly has a few Man­dat­ory suits in his ward­robe.

And now the Cuba St store is cel­eb­rat­ing a spe­cial birth­day – 15 years in busi­ness!!!

Design­ers Clare Bowden and Fiona Edwards first met while train­ing in fash­ion and fash­ion tex­tiles at Wel­ling­ton Poly­tech­nic. Now they have a league of well dressed fans which includes All Blacks, musos, hos­pit­al­ity types, artists, theatre peeps and more.

They’ve launched a new web­site and there’s a $1500 ward­robe to be won. All you have to do is add a pic­ture of your­self sport­ing your Man­dat­ory gears to the online album or on their face­book page. Easy as.
