The date is the 26th of March

Hi everyone,

Nannah is busy preparing new designs for an event at Wedgeview Country Hotel and Spa on Saturday morning, 26 March. All ladies are welcome, entry fee is R250, and it goes to a friend of mine whose boyfriend has a neurological desease. It happened out of the blue last year and he is busy learning to speak again, and she needs to care for him 24/7. So it is definitely worth coming - Nina J from Stellenbosch will be hosting a fashion show as well, and it should be lots of fun!

A lot of people have been asking where the workshop is - so Bianca Rudman took some pictures of Rumbi and I in our natural habitat - I will attach below.

My favourite chair....

Rumbi looking very serious.....major concentration!

I love this sewing machine - it was my great-grandmother's, and it works like a heavy-duty sewing machine - so it can stitch leather nicely.

We are busy with a new suede design in grey leather - watch this space!

some pics......

Hi Everyone,

The catalogue will be out soon, here are some pics:

Rumbi and I

We had so much fun shooting the pics with my friend Bianca,and with Rumbi, who has been a professional model, it was done in two ticks (-:

Have a lovely week
Nannah and Rumbi

The magic word is Vintage!

The significance of finding the right niche market, is that the picture of where you are aiming at becomes clearer, and this is what is happening at the moment!

Nannah realises she loves vintage and so does her fellow mates, and how exciting to dive into the wonderful possibilities of such a look - creating the most beautiful bags that shout vintage-with-a-fresh-edge, in a wonderful retro world. I can see a whole new dimension of Nannah coming into existance!

And with summer on the outer edge, autumn with his warm, rustiness will surely bring forth something desirable......

On this note, I'm off to do some serious marketing, and search for masks that Rumbi and I can wear while using the glue on the leather, before we do the stitching. Not sure what they put in the glue but my head doesn't like it a lot, telling by the headaches that plague both of us.......

Below are some pics of the new vintage range - sorry for the bad quality but it is taken with my blackberry!

If anyone knows about a mask that will help? I bought the disposable ones at Brights hardware store yesterday, but it is only effective for dust, not glue fumes......

Anyway, have a super day!
