About
When the opportunities for your brand are bigger than the bandwidth of your staff, when you have a great apparel concept or brand idea but don’t know how to get the project off the ground, EXIT-21 is here to help.
We didn't know how much we needed Exit 21 until we saw what Erick, Daniela, Rachel and Sunchea bring to the table. We've essentially doubled our team and now have direct access to highly experienced veterans of the apparel industry, and we accomplished it in a cost effective manner. It's one of the best decisions we've ever made.
