A letter from our founder š
Weāve done the calculations, checked them twice and then checked them again. Somehow, May became the best month in ROFās history!
There have been so many moments over the years where we wondered whether we should keep going. It felt like every possible challenge found its way to us at one point or another. But one thing I learned from my dad is that you donāt give up. Looking back now, Iām incredibly grateful that we didnāt.
What makes this milestone even more special is knowing that every order represents someone choosing to support local craftsmanship. So, thank you! What started as a small business has grown far beyond anything we imagined. Not only in South Africa and the Netherlands, markets weāve come to know so well, but now through orders and wholesale enquiries coming from all over the world. Itās exciting, a little overwhelming and definitely humbling.
To everyone who has supported us, worn our shoes, shared our story or recommended us to a friend: thank you. You have played a massive part in getting us here š¤
As soon as I get back from the Netherlands, we will properly celebrate this milestone with the ROF team.
ā Love, Laura
