In November, an email from Harper's Bazaar UK landed in my inbox.
And I honestly thought… this must be a scam.
So I didn’t reply. For several days.
Then it kept coming back to my mind.
What if it’s real?
I sent a short reply asking them to clarify the offer.
And then things started moving fast — a phone call, a Zoom call… and suddenly a beautiful invitation to be featured in the March 2026 issue.
We prepared a short article, went through editorial edits, approved everything before Christmas… and on February 6th I received the message:
The March issue is out. On shelves across the UK. In selected stores worldwide. And online.
I had to read that message twice.
Never in my life did I imagine that my handmade leather bags — designed between Germany and Prague, created in our small family atelier — would appear in such a prestigious magazine.
And I don’t want to celebrate this alone.
A big thank you to my amazing team — Veronika and Nadja — who bring all my “crazy” ideas to life with their hands and patience. And to my photographer Stephi, whose photos show our work in the most beautiful way.
Without them, this wouldn’t exist.
Sometimes you almost delete the email that changes your life.
And sometimes… you’re very glad you didn’t. 💜
