MOKUM'S DESIGN STUDIO IS MOVING!
VIVA NEW ZEALAND!
I have just arrived back from a week in New Zealand and used the opportunity to gather feedback from the Auckland market. Tracey Guy, our fantastic New Zealand Sales Manager and I saw a selection of our clients, who were all very helpful and welcoming.
Thank you so much for your time and valuable suggestions. It makes such a difference to get product feedback face to face.
Plus it is a great opportunity to brainstorm how we take product to market, especially the continual debate around how best to sample product!!!
New ideas were discussed on how to deliver more techincal information on our sampling, but in a way that is clear and simple for both the specifier and the consumer.

Everyone in New Zealand is very affected by the Christchurch earthquake. But it is amazing to hear and see the sense of community that develops during such challenging times.
Having lived in New Zealand both Stephanie (who is a Kiwi) and I wish everyone in New Zealand all the best!
Viva New Zealand!
GREAT IDEAS
We love getting feedback in the studio, its an essential part of our design process.
We are currently in the middle of designing three new collections which we look forward to delivering to you this year, so if you have any great ideas we always love to hear from you!
Stay tuned to our blog as we will be giving you a behind the scenes look at these exciting collections closer to the launch dates.
END OF AN ERA
Mokum has new owners marking the end of an era for the Rysenbry family, who started the company over 30 years ago in Auckland, New Zealand.
I would like to thank Edwin (featured above) and Michael Rysenbry for all the wonderful opportunities I have experienced over the past 18 years in their employment.
I would also like to wish Edwin and Barbara Rysenbry the very best of luck with their exciting new venture Sparkk Textiles!
In our next post we will profile our new owners and exciting plans for 2011!
