MAFS’ Adrian responds to claim he doesn’t have a job with bizarre showcase of his small business
He saw a ‘gap in the market’ and created his product
MAFS Australia’s Adrian Araouzou has noticed people talking about him not having a job and responded with a slightly strange showcase of his gym bag business because – apparently – that’s a real thing.
Earlier this month, So Dramatic published a report on the jobs and living situations of the MAFS season 12 cast after filming had wrapped. Jamie Marinos was reportedly slinging bottles at the weekend, Tim managed to get another teaching job, and Sierah Swepstone was looking at her next steps. They also revealed how Adrian “doesn’t have a job” and was “couch surfing” at co-star Eliot Donovan‘s house, hence their many (many) TikToks about one another.
“He was really expecting his businesses to take off and become a full-time influencer, but it’s clear that’s not going to happen now,” an insider told the publication.
Well, now the man himself was put rumours to bed.
Oops, MAFS’ Adrian is NOT jobless
@araz.twins Replying to @🖤 ℜ𝔬 𝔩𝔩 🖤 you don’t need to be the smartest to start you just need to be creative and have a crack 🙏🏼 #marriedatfirstsightaustrailia #mafs #mafsaustralia #smallbusinesscheck
On his TikTok last week, Adrian felt the need to put rumours to rest because, “If you’re a small business owner, you know how hard it is to start a business, and you know what a big risk it is to take that leap.”
Here’s me thinking that gym clothes could be placed in literally any other bag, but according to Adrian, I’m dead wrong. After seeing a “gap in the market” two years ago, Adrian entered the athleisure wear industry by launching a brand called PakD that could transition between work and working out. He noticed that gym bags were usually cheap, so he wanted to offer something with “innovation” and “quality.”

“PAKDsport’s mission is clear—to craft bags that enhance the ease of everyday life while ensuring a boss-like appearance. The brand believes that individuals should not have to compromise style for high-quality sport accessories. To achieve this, PAKDsport invested two years in meticulously engineering each product, striving to deliver ultimate sport accessories that stand out in the market,” its mission statement reads.
“Situated in Sydney, Australia, PAKDsport is not just a brand; it’s a commitment to providing innovative, stylish, and functional sport accessories to a global audience.”
Adrian currently has three products in his PakD line: A traditional rope bag that is built to last, a shoe vault for carrying footwear, and the “ultimate” duffle bag. Showcasing each individual product in his range, Adrian revealed that he’s got the shoe vault patented so only he can make them.
“It casters to every need,” he said, showing off the duffle bag. “It’s got a toiletary pouch, there’s a laptop sleeve, this bag actually has everything you need. It’s perfect for work, the gym, and travel.”
Adrian claimed the duffle bag’s colour should last three years before it needs to be replaced.
As per his official website, here are the price points for Adrian’s gym bag job:
- The Ultimate Duffle Bag in either coffee or military green – $189 AUD
- Gym rope bag – $49 AUD
- Shoe Vault – $49 AUD
