Two best mates who quit their jobs to pursue a men’s swimwear brand have turned over more than $1million in sales thanks to the rush of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.
Vacay Swimwear launched in early 2017 by founders Jordy Kallios, 26, and Corey Decandia, 27, from Adelaide, South Australia.
The pair decided to start their own business after noticing a ‘huge gap in the Australian market’ for stylish and affordable men’s swim shorts.
In the last financial year alone, the brand has turned over $2.4million and the business has expanded from a small office to a huge warehouse space with employees.
The colourful, stylish swimwear is now stocked in major retailers including The Iconic and David Jones, as well as online stores across Europe and Asia with plan to expand to the US.
While the campaign was a huge success, it took over six months to plan and left the founders and team feeling exhausted.
