Wow! This morning we just woke up with more than 10,000 (!) followers on @poespas.nl . For those who missed it: Poespas is the new company of me and @lisettelubbers . Early 2020 we started working out all our ideas, refining the designs and of course setting up the production process. All our ideas came together so beautifully! Last year, on the one hand, time was not on our side at all, everything was delayed so much by Corona. But on the other hand, it allowed us to fully focus on what we really wanted: a production process largely in the Netherlands appealed to us.
Especially in these (for everyone) intense times, we really want to give the work to the people in our own country. We have been to all corners of the Netherlands and have seen the most beautiful productions up close. And there is still so much craftsmanship in the Netherlands! This unique look behind the scenes was very special. We now know how the items are produced, who we work with and that the companies we work with are striving for (even) more sustainability. (Most productions are now running in Twente, where our roots lie!). Not all of our products are ready yet (this will probably be a multi-year plan haha), but we update the website weekly with new products & wallpaper designs for baby rooms, children's rooms & lifestyle products. We are so proud!
I have been selling in the shop since I was about 14 years old
As the oldest daughter of parents with multiple furniture stores, I grew up with interior design. In fact, I was already selling in the store from the age of 14. I have always been interested in interior design and that has always been the case. As a child, I would walk through the store with a sales slip and write down everything I wanted in my own home when I grew up. I sold myself the entire interior! I always find it so special to help people find interior design. Not because it was my job, but because it was already a passion of mine back then.
When I'm at the family business in Twente, I start to feel the itch to help customers again. I can still hear the wooden floors from the shops creaking under my shoes! Everything comes together again, especially now that I work together with my girlfriend Lisette. We complement each other so much! It's a party to be able to do this together. We share a passion. Lisette is so professional, so good, and she has so much taste. She's also so sweet. We share pure passion, ambition and friendship. And we want to give everything for that. We are so grateful that you already embrace Poespas after seeing just a few designs. And... There's so much more to come!! ?
