2. The Journey to Our New Office Space

The journey to our new office space has been a remarkable one. It all started back in 2018 when our brand was born. Since then, we have had several office spaces spread across the country. Each location played a crucial role in our growth and development as a company.

3. Our First Office Spaces

Our very first office space was a small converted house on a rural farm in Limpopo. It was a humble beginning, but it laid the foundation for our future success. We built the desks ourselves and started our operations with passion and determination.

4. The Decision to Rent a Room for Office Space

As our business grew, we realized that running an online business with limited cell reception and Wi-Fi was challenging. We made the decision to move to Cape Town, where we rented a room as our first official office space. Although it was a small room, it felt like a significant milestone for us.

5. Moving to Woodstock: Our First Office/Warehouse Space

As our team continued to expand, our office space in Cape Town became too small. In 2020, we took a leap of faith and moved to Woodstock, where we found our first office/warehouse space. It was a momentous occasion, and we were thrilled to have a larger space to accommodate our growing team and operations.

6. The Expansion and Growth of the Team

Over the years, our team continued to grow, and we hired our first employees. We expanded our warehouse operations and faced the challenges of managing inventory and order fulfillment. Despite the obstacles, our team's dedication and hard work propelled us forward.

7. The Design Studio: A Haven for Creativity

Creativity is at the Core of our brand, and we knew we needed a dedicated space for our designers to work and plan for the future. Our design studio is equipped with a beautiful high desk, Fabric swatches, and boards to Visualize our collections throughout the year. It is a sanctuary where ideas come to life.

8. Collaborative Work and the Benefits of an Open Office Space

Our open office space fosters collaboration and teamwork. By sitting together in the same office, our team can easily bounce ideas off each other and engage in spontaneous discussions. This fluidity of communication enhances productivity and ensures that creativity flows effortlessly.

A well-equipped kitchen area is essential for team bonding and fostering a Sense of community. We designed our kitchen area with the future in mind, allowing for expansion as our team grows. It serves as a gathering spot where our team can relax, share meals, and connect with one another.

10. The TV and Mannequin Area: Visual Merchandising

To ensure consistency across our stores, we have a TV in our office that mirrors all the stores across South Africa. We can upload content and test how it will look in our stores before finalizing displays. Additionally, we have a dedicated area for dressing mannequins, enabling us to Create captivating displays that showcase our products effectively.

11. The Creative Studio, Simulator, and Fitting Room: Streamlining Content Creation

Our creative studio is a versatile space where we can shoot content in-house. This eliminates the need to rent external studios, streamlines the content creation process, and ensures a Cohesive visual identity. Additionally, we have incorporated a simulator and fitting room, allowing us to test our products and streamline the fitting process.

12. The Golf Simulator: A Space for Fun and Relaxation

Incorporating spaces for relaxation and fun is crucial for maintaining a positive work environment. We have installed a top-of-the-line golf simulator that provides our team with a space to unwind and have some friendly competition.
