Small Interior Products

Marienki

Being a Home Economics Graduate with a passion for excellent workmanship, I had a dream and ideal to create my own interior product workshop. In 2000 my paths crossed with an unemployed seamstress, Marienki, and I decided to offer her an opportunity by teaching her the curtain and softs trade to sustain her family. During the interview, we hit the process running by doing a practical demonstration of how to insert a zip. Shortly thereafter we had a curtain making workshop in my garage. Marienki was a keen student and showed great potential.

Beauty Within

Almost 19 years ago I met Izaan, a kind-hearted lady referring clients to me, without even knowing me. Ever since we have been acquaintances. Izaan wanted to move her business, Beauty Within, to greener pastures, and I saw it as the perfect opportunity to sell small interior products – creating an opportunity to keep Marienkie busy.
