Hello again

Hi dear friends of Nannah,

Sorry for the long silent period again, but things have been happening quite fast around here!

Friends

Amazing creatures.

If the one isn't taking pictures of Nannah's bags for the website, the other is networking/organising, while others are faithfully placing orders for birthday presents or just giving words of encouragement, and spreading the word.

Tiaan the website guru, Anne and Bianca the photographers, Cindy the shoe-lady helping me with business cards, Renie with the first business cards, Minki from Bergbruidjie, and every one who is supporting Nannah in which ever way. THANKS, you are appreciated!

Nama-bag

My first leather bag, designed and manufactured in Namaqualand.

My favourite sofar! Some agree! Thought I should show them to you in person at some stage, if you are keen, let me know, there is an event on the horizon at the end of March........bring along friends and spread the word!

Design Indaba @ CTICC

At first glance, some interesting looking people, creatives, or attention-seekers, or weirdo's, depending on your personal opinion.......yet, not boring I'm sure we'll agree, and who can say different is not fun, as long is being different is just the outcome of being you, naturally? (If you've lost me, don't worry, I'm also trying to figure this out in my blondness!)

The jewelry was the best part for me. Check out Annehette from Patatie jewelry, just fresh and lovely stuff and also very affordable! She is also an artist - very talented lady indeed! (Check her out on facebook)

The handbags are mostly from leather, there were some interesting designs but nothing really wow....? Haven't seen any truly handmade leather ones........

Later, a fun fashion-show with lovely autumn coats and skirts, all in black, denim, and brown belts, the thin belt that wraps around your waist twice. (See previous pics for similar Nannah belt, place your order to be in time for autumn!)

Nannah's happy world

Blogging is everywhere these days. So I will aim to write some snitbits all through the week. This is fun for me too. Need to put time out for this!!

Nannah is actually moving this weekend, not fun. It is too much of a beautiful day out to be carrying my life around. GMmmmfffff.)-:

Which makes me think - LIFE is goooooood!

Enjoy your weekend! (if you're not moving, don't complain!)

The saga continues.....

Hi and sorry for the silent period...........we were working hard, which is a jolly good thing, and sho, marketing isn't easy, but it's a really fun challenge!

I am fortunate to have the support of my family,friends and Rumbi, who is full of faith that this year Nannah will be the new hot kid in Cape Town and the rest of our Rainbow-land. Maybe even in the foreign places of the world, but as any experienced entrepreneur will tell you, you have to be prepared to crawl before you can walk and run!!!

So now Rumbi is also making gorgeous leather bags by hand - photo's to follow!

I've read a very inspiring story of this girl from Newcastle in the UK, who used to be a lawyer. It wasn't her passion so she started her own handbag-design company. Although it is hard work and, in the beginning, without real financial reward, it is rewarding in all the other spheres. And if you stay passionate and focused, who knows how it can grow and flourish! All things are possible!

If you live in and around the mothercity, come have a look at Nannah's latest leather bags - and place your order!

All handmade leatherbags will last for generations!

Enjoy your weekend!
