Sublimated tracksuit

Exodus Wear is just like that kid at school who is friends with everyone.

We love that you spend your weekends singing acapella in your show choir, playing Quidditch in your University Society or dancing in your Irish dance troupe.

There’s no judgement and we love that you love it! We want to help you make your dreams a reality and create the perfect jacket or tracksuit that represents your group. We want you to feel a million bucks whether it is at rehearsal or on comp day.

Exodus Wear helps you create the perfect design with no restrictions or guidelines; we even let you customise the inside. Whatever your vision is we help you bring that to life without it costing a fortune or requiring a big order to be placed.

We make sure all of our garments are ethically produced, individually personalised and that each order unique. We know that your nickname or name is the most important part of every garment and so we allow the most characters on the market and we even let you use $ymbo£s or shpes.

Meet our Founder & Director

Elyse Daniels
Elyse DanielsFounder & Director
In 2009 Elyse took a niche idea for fully customisable jackets, inside and out and turned it into a multi-million dollar business. Exodus Wear now produces a range of custom apparel sold Australia wide to schools and sporting and community groups with plans for international expansion in the near future.

Speaking Topics:

– Start ups
– International sourcing
– Working with China
– Female Entrepreneurship
– Family Business

For all bookings please email marketing@exoduswear.com.au

Entrepreneurship was always in her blood with Elyse’s family starting a promotional products business when she was just 12 years old. The school holidays saw her working for her parents and she even had some of her own clients. One of her clients was Australian fashion label Wheels and Dollbaby. Not being old enough to drive meant getting dropped off at the Wheels and Dollbaby store in Darlinghurst by her Dad who would wait in a nearby coffee shop until the appointment was over. From Wheels and Dollbaby she learnt how important attention to detail is for a brand not only in their products but in all their brand material. 
After completing a Business & Marketing degree at the University of Western Sydney and securing a job at an international company Elyse thought she had ‘made it’. However she soon came to the realisation that she enjoyed the variety working in a small business offered and figured she might be suited to a smaller company where she would be able to offer her skills across a variety of areas in the business instead of specialising only in marketing.
At 20 she joined the family business in promotional products full-time and while there learnt the importance of personalisation and the demand for custom products. She saw an opportunity to sell jackets that were designed by the customer and customised inside and out focusing on the leavers wear market and community groups. In August 2009 she took her first order of custom jackets and with that Exodus Wear was born.
From there it was a quick transition to full time entrepreneur but a long journey with many ups and downs to reach the point of running a multi million dollar company servicing customers Australia wide. With highlights such as having Justin Bieber wear one of her jackets to learning first hand the pitfalls of sourcing direct from China every day the business teaches her something new.

“I think a big part of our success comes from placing no restrictions on what our customers can design but keeping the pricing model simple so they don’t get overwhelmed. You can’t tell customers what is cool or what they want anymore. You have to listen to what your customers want, and ours want customisation. Our job is to bring their vision to life”

How do you start a business at 21 with no money? 

Elyse tells the rather funny story first hand of how she convinced her parents to invest $6,000 to get Exodus Wear off the ground. Warning! You won’t be learning any business success secrets here but rather how nagging your parents (even when you are an adult) can get you what you want.

Our Team!

Our team are custom crazy! We take customisation so seriously that half of what we own or gift has been customised in some way. We love it so much that we decided it was time to start a series of blog posts For the Love of Custom sharing all of our favourite customisable products.

It’s been a Journey!

Take a step back in time and let us take you on the journey of building Exodus Wear into the brand it is today.
