ABOUT US
Introducing Emily + Me: Where Fashion Meets Sustainability
Welcome to Emily + Me, a small local business that is not just about accessories, but also about embracing a sustainable lifestyle.
I'm Cath, the proud founder, CEO, social media manager, finance manager, and designer behind this exciting venture. Oh, and let's not forget my most important role - being a mom. By my side through it all is Emily, my pride and joy, and the inspiration behind it all.
At Emily + Me, our mission is to create sustainable and fashionable accessories that empower individuals to express their unique style. We believe that fashion should be easy to wear, with a touch of 'extra' to keep it fun and exciting. That's why we've curated a collection of accessories featuring bold prints and colors that effortlessly elevate any look.
As a passionate advocate of easy-to-wear fashion, I embarked on this journey after the arrival of my little firecracker, Emily. It was during this transformative period that I realized the importance of embracing sustainable practices and supporting local South African businesses.
Driven by a desire to make a difference, I extensively researched the production of our own bags and straps. It deeply concerned me that most bags and straps available in South Africa today are imported, which goes against the spirit of supporting local industries. I knew it was time to change that narrative and offer sustainable, proudly South African options that you can mix and match to your heart's content.
We invite you to explore our collection of thoughtfully crafted bags and stylish straps, designed with versatility and durability in mind. Whether you're a fashion enthusiast, a traveler, or a photographer, our accessories are tailored to enhance your daily experiences.
Mix and match our bags and straps to create unique combinations that reflect your personal style and make a statement.
Thank you for joining us on this exciting journey towards sustainable fashion. We look forward to being a part of your story as you express your individuality with Emily + Me.
Lots of love,
Cath - Founder, CEO, and Creative Director of Emily + Me
