I know, I know, those photos aren't of me! That is our beautiful brand ambassador, friend, and singer songwriter Nikki Loy. Her latest video sparked me to write this message to you.

If you don't know Nikki already - she is currently rocking out her life by touring the country on a record deal in her campervan. She's making a series of videos documentating the inspirations that she channels into her songwriting.

In her latest video she focuses on sex, songs and handbags! As for the sex and songs i'll let you Nikki tell you about that (link below).

The success of progress...

I'll admit that I was both humbled and proud as Nikki starts to talk about our personal relationship and how she's watched my progress over the last 2 years (just as i've watched hers).

And then it happened. I suddenly stopped everything and realised how big this project is that I've devoted my life to. How bold a statement i've made to stand up independently in this (often daunting) world of highly established handbag companies and forge a living for myself.

I realised just how incredible it is that each of these bags successfully finds it's own place in the lives of so many wonderful people. I realised how all of my efforts are worth it.

Watching Nikki's video gave me one of those moments of joy that are so precious. A realisation of the scale of the commitment I've made to pursue my dreams of handbag nirvana (is there such a thing as the perfect handbag?!) mixed with a sense of friendship and companionship that may never have existed otherwise.

So thank you Nikki, and here's to many more years of adventures. As for you dear reader, I wish you the best for this time of year and I hope you too have those experiences with friends and family that will serve you just as you need.

Lots of love,

Jennifer X
