Our Story

The story of Destination Apparel

Arlene and her partner kicked off Destination Apparel after Destination Racing got started about 10 years back with racing teams out of America. Destination Racing started to bring racing teams to New Zealand bring a few famous drivers to New Zealand, Including Todd Leduc (two times Monster Jam World Finals Champion), but I thought, "Why not get into clothing?"

So, Destination Apparel was born. We tossed around a few ideas, even considered buying an existing brand, but ultimately decided to do our own thing.

Arlene dedicated a whole year to learning the ropes with the machines, testing everything she could to nail top-notch quality—not just with the T-shirts and Hoodies, but also perfecting the prints themselves.

We soon realised that heaps of other racing teams were in need of quality gear too. Our first big project was for Hodgson Motorsports, who ran a TQ (kind of like a mini Midget). They wanted some slick apparel to raise funds for their team.

We still work with a few race teams, but we’ve branched out to big names like Harcourts, Tradies, and the NZ Food Show.

We’ve just invested in some top-of-the-line machines to keep pushing our quality to the next level.

We’re stoked about what we do and love every minute of it!
