I said I was going to release cowboy hats this summer but hadn’t even start researching how. Yesterday in Cape Town, we’re driving on the outskirts and I just keep seeing cows. Then it hits me. They have to make cowboy hats out here. And voila, today I have a manufacturer ✨

People will tell you to get her an iPad so she can develop it more. No, get her a sewing machine and get her into sewing classes. Actualizing a talent by fostering the basic skills needed during childhood is the first step. And as she develops take her to fashion based gatherings
