    Thanks Daphne.

    Its a while since I was on this site and I think its time to upgrade my profile information as many things have happened over the last year or so.

    I think a retail point for African and African-inspired designers is a first-class idea. Now we need to up our game. With any luck Indaba 2013 in Durban will see the launch of something really special.
