Kotton & Twille designer and former Elle New Talent winner, Anna Mari Pretorius is launching a new range of woven 70's inspired belts and bags.

Remember when green was just a colour and notebooks were ring bound – SA Fashion Week made the switch to cut down on paper waste and Papersmith and Son helped us. Using the greenest paper available (TCF – totally chlorine free), mugs instead of Styrofoam, plain paper faxes in place of thermal paper, using both sides of the page before recycling, post-it notes instead of full cover fax sheets, only printing hard copies when absolutely necessary and e-mails whenever possible – the paper police will not be writing out any fines for this office!
