In my original villa, I had an office to work from, but in
my new one I don’t, so I pretty much go to all different
cafes around Canggu and work out of them. Sometimes it’s
tricky as the WI-FI may not be fast, or the cafe is too noisy,
or I simply bump into too many people I know and get
distracted. I have my faves where I can pop my earphones
in, grab some yummy food and coffee and then get
motivated to work the day away. There are some great
co-working spaces available in Bali which I occasionally
use.
Last, but not least, I want to give some love to my
amazing team I have working with me now. Now that Salty
has grown, I have hired my best friend Jess to be my PA.
She has been a massive help in my business as it has al-
lowed me to focus on the creative side of the business. She
does all of my posting and helps with the emails/DM’s as
well as random jobs that frees up so much of my time. This
also has allowed her return to the workforce after having
two babies. She works from home so it’s a win-win for
everyone.
Everything you buy is handmade by my amazing and
talented maker Epol. He makes the patterns, cuts the
fabric, makes the pieces and his wife packs the pieces. Epol
also works from the front of his house so he gets to spend
a lot of time with his family. All of the orders last year has
helped us move Epol and his family into a place 3 times
bigger than his original, which would not have been
possible without my amazing customers, so I thank them
for this.
We have just released our latest collection, which has
some gorgeous matching mummy and mini pieces. Some
pieces sold out on launch day, although we are hoping to
have them restocked in the next few weeks. Thank you for
reading my story, I hope you enjoyed my small business
journey.
Can’t wait to see your babes in Salty.
