Sara - Artist
Is the master of bag straps. She works on them everywhere because she studies teaching and school administration on the side. Sara also organised a micro-loan group with her friends in her village to help each other pursue dreams that require financial support. She is brilliant.
Head of Wholesale and E-Commerce
Siska is responsible for your customer experience on our website and for mainting and growing our relationships with our amazing retail partners. She is our first fulltime colleague in Copenhagen (yesss) which means her work is super squid-like (small business), but Siska always keeps it cool.
