Five Years! Can You Believe It?
It's official! Elesk turned 5 this past November.
Five years! It feels like just yesterday I was diving headfirst into the thrill and panic of starting Elesk Apparel. If I had to sum up that first year in one line, it would be: “Yea, I can totally do that. No problem! Quick question though—how do I do that?” Because, honestly, those were my thoughts almost every day. I was so eager to say “yes” to every opportunity, even if it meant figuring things out as I went. No task was too small, too daunting, or too confusing—I was ready to dive in, learn on the fly, and make it happen (sometimes with a little… or a lot of trial and error along the way!).
The past five years have been filled with unforgettable “firsts”—receiving the first inventory shipment, celebrating our first sale, attending our first show, getting our first repeat customer. I’ll never forget the moment someone told me they loved wearing Elesk; that it was exactly what they’d been looking for. Hearing that people were actually wearing and loving our pieces? That was proof that my vision had come to life and hearing the stories about how you use our products fills my heart every single time!
To all our amazing customers, your support has meant the world to me. Every purchase, kind word, and thoughtful piece of feedback fuels this journey and gives it purpose. And to my family, friends, and everyone who’s cheered me on from the start, I can’t thank you enough for believing in Elesk (and me!).
I’ve learned so much over the last 5 years. Every experience and challenge has shaped Elesk and pushed me to be better. Along the way, I’ve met incredible people, made new friends, shared stories and laughter, and been deeply inspired by those who connect with Elesk’s mission. I never imagined this journey would be so fulfilling—and inspiring.
As we step into the next chapter, I can’t wait to see what’s ahead. Thank you for being part of this journey, for embracing the do-more-with-less lifestyle, and for making these first five years unforgettable. Here’s to the next five—filled with style, simplicity, and all of YOU who make it worth every step.
With endless gratitude and a great big hug,
Amy & The Elesk Team
