I would like to present you an interview with the wonderful people around our bags from time to time. This category is called colourful people because I believe the expression fits our multicultural city.

It is a pleasure to have the first interview with Dennis, the cutter at our manufacture. We are so glad to have him. I tried cutting one piece of my bags at one stage and of course hopelessly failed. Thanks to Dennis’ precise planning and cutting skills we are able to minimize our leather wastage but also we can be assured that all our bags are the right size and colours.

Dennis, do you like what you do?
yes

What else would you do if you weren’t a cutter?
I would have my own business.

What is the best part of your job?
When the product is finished. You as a cutter can say that you are the one that started the product and to be proud of it.

What makes you tick?
I love what I do.

Do you love Cape Town? Why?
Yes. I love Cape Town because we’ve got a jewel which is one of the seven wonders of the world. That makes Cape Town so unique.
