Cool Customers

by Kate Tomkins April 26, 2020

The last 6 months I started taking pics of some customers and now I wish I had done this since 1992. Thankyou to our customers & to some amazing past staff members who feature in these pics too.

Marissa who worked with us for a few years around 3yrs ago and has been living in London working on her incredible label, Marissa Ziesing Jewellery. Joel, musician guru (Wolf & Cub) who has been coming into Midwest since the early 90s. We met these two through MWT and they have become dear buddies of ours so its perfect that they are the first cool customers to be pictured in the new shop.

My parents will always have to be my number one customer of the day, how cute are they though?!!

Jessy is working with us currently and she's very successful in her acting and modelling career having worked in Singapore and on big production films locally.

Marissa worked with us 3yrs ago, she's slaying life overseas in UK pursuing her dreams making jewellery after winning the Helpman Awards. Love !
