Beautiful images from the WREN design

We have loved every one of the WREN design's recycled PPC Cement Bag products since we first met their papery splendour but, after the recent Tablet Sleeves photoshoot -we have to say- we are completely besotted. Wendren and her team borrowed some KIN items to complement the look and feel, and created a beautifully-expressed personality for each sleeve.

Have a look at some of the gorgeous compositions below and don't forget, you can buy the iPad and Tablet Sleeves online here :)

KIN Pops Up at Pulp Kitchen in Willowbridge

Pulp Kitchen and KIN share a few essential core strengths - we are both passionate about advocating locally-made goods and supporting our local industries. Pulp Kitchen even boasts furniture made by local designers using recycled/reclaimed materials, and bamboo shelves which are 100% sustainable. When Pulp Kitchen approached us with the idea of a designer goods, in-store pop-up we loved the idea immediately. It feels natural for us to team up in this exciting collaboration as it's the coming-together of two businesses both besotted with South Africa and South African-made. After numerous chats and planning visits, you can now find selected KIN products at Pulp Kitchen in Willowbridge, Tyger Valley.

A lot of goodness packed and ready to go!

Our selection for Pulp Kitchen features mostly kitchen or home oriented items such as Chandler House cermaics, MOKO's raw oak boards, Sootcookie's Take-Away ceramic range, Yumyum's table runners and Alice May Design's Dippy Egg Boards. Pulp Kitchen has cultivated a relaxed yet contemporary atmosphere and it's wonderful to see how perfectly at home our products are in this thriving neighbourhood hub. 

Before

Eliana works her magic!

We love the convenience that our teaming-up offers customers - it's so easy to organise a coffee get-together to debate a mutual friend's wedding gift or to browse the display while waiting for a friend to join you for lunch. We also love the idea of the products taking customers completely by surprise when they next pop in for their morning smoothie.
