Even though all three of us have day jobs, (Jarrod’s an electrician, Sam is a private Invesigator and Brett a is a concreter) we started Chapelle to create a company all three of us could work together on.
We envisioned a company that would allow us to travel and move beyond the restrictions of 9-5, and thus our apparel business was born. Being from industries not related to travel has allowed us to learn on our feet and create our own canvas.
From liaison with importers to new company’s interested in stocking our merchandise, even setting up a pop up shop at some events, its been a challenging yet rewarding 12 months.
One thing we have learnt that we can pass on is, never underestimate how powerful good relationships are, they will push you in the right direction, allow you to meet more people and ultimately pull you back from heading in the wrong direction!
Here’s some pics from one of our latest shoots.
