When Detola & Geek Popped Up in Canary Wharf

One of my goals for 2019 was to host/hold more "Pop Up Shops" in different venues & cities/towns.

This dream came true recently. As early as in the 1st quarter of this year! The Universe surely has my back, believe.

I do like taking "Detola & Geek" on the road. Being flexible and able to work in different settings is amazing to say the least. Just the same when I sell in person at handmade/craft fairs. 

That email out of the blue from Standard & Poor Global (S & P Global) London caught me totally unawares. They reached out to my teeny weeny handmade independent business to see if I was interested in having a Pop Up Shop. I couldn't have been happier and of course I said YES. 

Here are some images from the in-house event on 27th March 2019.

Also, Detola and Geek donated a portion of it's takings on the day to S & P's nominated Charity - Mind.

Can't wait to be back again, sometime soon :-)

Detola & Geek wins Theo Paphitis's Small Business Sunday award!

Some things are so rare that the chances of it happening is equal to one winning the lottery.

My one woman small handmade business won Theo Paphitis's small business Sunday award on 12th September 2016.

So you could imagine how amazed. elated, gobsmacked & speechless atimes I have been since Monday.

All kind of emotions happening at the same time!

At some point I could barely breathe.

Hard work really pays off. You've got to be in it to win it. I live by this mantra 100%.

You also have to be very passionate about what you do. I so love picking out colourful vibrant African wax print textiles. They are the backbone of my teeny weeny business that I call Detola & Geek.

Thanks again Mr Theo Paphitis, Shopkeeper & ex-Dragons Den judge for propelling my small business into the big world of business & super brands.

Will share my official award winning badge once I've received it. 

....... and here it is, as promised

Keep your eye on Detola and Geek as it is certainly going places!
