Welcome to Hanging by a Fred | Inspired by Tragedy

Hi, I'm Freddie, the owner of Hanging by a Fred, a small business based in Northumberland in the United Kingdom. I was inspired to create HBAF by my father's love of climbing and the beautiful ropes he left behind after his death.

About My Work

After my father's passing, I found myself with many of his climbing ropes, as he had been an avid climber. For some time, they remained unused, but I eventually decided to see what I could create with them. Now, 11 years later, here we are.

I love producing my weird and wonderful creations, letting my hands do the talking, and I hope you like them too!
