Food Wine Design Fair, Hyde Park, Johannesburg

Gone Rural & Preisstess

Food Wine Design Fair, Hyde Park, Johannesburg

It was not without considerable effort that Julie and I made it to the 1st Food Wine Design fair in Johannesburg last weekend. This included lugging 22 boxes, an up-cycled bench and 2 tyre tables up two parking lots on to the roof top of Hyde Park Shopping Centre.

It was amongst a sumptuous array of local culinary delights and home grown design that we showed our wares. We discovered that Gone Rural classics are still a favorite. Place mats, Baskets and Floor Mats that last a lifetime. One customer was even back for more after seeing the products in his home. Quote " I can feel the energy in the products - I love products like this"

We also launched "Preisstess" my new fashion label...this is for all the fashion intuitive out there, up-cycled and connected. 1st store stocking is The State of The Nation in 44 Stanley, JBH. Look out for more about Priesstess soon!

Thanks to Trevyn and Julian McGowen of Source Design who curated the design exhibition...

and a massive thanks to all who visited us, brought and supported...
