How it all began: A Splash of Colour Down Under!

G'day, fashion fanatics! If you're looking to bring a bit of tropical flair to your corporate or group attire, let me introduce you to a rising star in the custom clothing cosmos—Custom Hawaiian Shirts. This Aussie owned brand run by a dynamo all-female team, has taken the laid-back vibe of Hawaiian shirts and dialled it up to eleven with their bespoke design services. And folks, they're not just slinging these vibrant threads to everyday punters; they've dressed some pretty hefty names too!

Custom Hawaiian Shirts spun out from the already popular Island Style Clothing, which has been the go-to place for off-the-rack Hawaiian shirts for over 15 years. Spotting a ripper opportunity to offer something more personalised, they launched into the custom gear game. It’s not just a small side hustle either. The demand was so huge, they set up a dedicated site, Custom Hawaiian Shirts, just to keep up with the buzz!

Let's rewind to four years ago when it all kicked off. Their very first design was a custom job for Kennards Self Storage. Looking for something special for their staff Christmas presents, Kennards wanted shirts that screamed their brand. Custom Hawaiian Shirts delivered in style, crafting shirts in the company's signature colours and featuring the Kennards logo embroidered on the back. This successful collaboration set the tone for the brand's knack for creating eye-catching, branded apparel that businesses love.

What sets this family-owned gem apart is not just their exceptional service but also the homegrown touch they add to every piece. The founders' daughter Emily is at the helm of the custom design team, churning out vibrant shirts adorned with Aussie flora and fauna. Instead of just sticking to traditional tropical patterns, they've embraced local culture, coining their creations 'Aussie Shirts'—a nod to their roots and a twist on the classic Hawaiian style.

What’s the secret sauce? Flexibility and a serious knack for kitting out large squads. Whether it’s the Australian Olympic Team gearing up for the Pacific Games, the hardy folks at BMA Mining, or the big guns at BHP – this crew knows how to make a statement. Even the Australian Defence Force and trendy brands like Vodka Cruiser have had their ranks jazzed up with these eye-catching designs.

But it's not just shirts; the range is as diverse as the occasions they cater to. We're talking custom Hawaiian shirts, shorts crafted from recycled fabric, women's and kids' shirts, ladies' kaftans and dresses, pet bandanas, and even bucket hats! Each item is tailored to bring a festive yet professional edge to any event—be it a beach wedding, milestone birthdays like 21sts and 60ths, or gatherings for car clubs, surf clubs, and bowls clubs.

The fun doesn’t stop there. Many breweries, hospitals, and hospitality venues have chosen these colourful ensembles as their uniforms, bringing a bit of joy to their everyday hustle. And for those hitting the high seas, groups going cruising have found their perfect match in these vibrant outfits, making every moment onboard unforgettable.

Their website is a breeze to navigate, giving you all the info you need to start your custom order. It's chock-a-block with examples of past projects, which not only shows off their versatility but also sparks ideas for what they can do for your group. And let me tell you, when it comes to options, the sky's the limit—every design is as unique as the groups wearing them.

Beyond the threads, what’s really bonza is their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. They’re all about creating outfits that aren’t just stunning but also comfortable enough to wear at events or even as part of a casual Friday get-up.

So, whether you're looking to stand out at your next corporate gig, want your sports team looking sharp at the next meet, or just aiming to make your group the life of the party, Custom Hawaiian Shirts should be your first port of call. They're proving that with the right touch, even the most fun-loving shirts can mean serious business. Hats off to them, they’ve truly mastered the art of making every day a luau!
