How it Works

The perfect gift for the ones who are yet to know the meaning of the words 'hard work' . . . in other words the back-to-schoolers and the university goers.

He is leaving home for the first time.

By the time he graduates, he will be grown-up: exhausted, hideously in debt and unable to imagine going to bed sober.

Reynard has brought everything he needs for his first year.

He unpacks his fancy-dress costumes, his four-way extension leads, his pair of pants and all his didgeridoos.

By doing front, back, inside-out front, inside-out back, and using Febreze and Imodium, he plans to make his pants last until half term.
