Acknowledgement of excellence for Missibaba bags

The Awards are aimed at motivating the industry and its contributors, while broadening awareness for the growth and progression of South African design. Whether emerging or established, the awards focus on the Business of Design and how this affects local creatives while also addressing the practical challenges that designers face in the current enterprise landscape.

The Maker to Market award, sponsored by Clip-Lok, applauds design companies that have shown an understanding of the value of marketing, consumer interaction, packaging and delivery. The Missibaba team is thrilled to have been acknowledged and to have been lauded as one of the top achievers in local design commerce.

"We love the unique Southern Guild platform and its refreshing perspective. We feel honoured to have been recognised as makers leaving our mark. This is what inspires us," says Lizel Strydom, Missibaba creative and business partner.
