Article in Wonderland:
What excites you most about introducing Merryl Tielman to the US market?
I am from a small country, if you are in good shape, you can cross all of the Netherlands by bike in one day. America has more than one time zone, the number of people you can reach is beyond comprehension.
Me and my partner very much have a DIY approach, but a year ago we teamed up with a soulmate who has a lot of know-how. Since then things are happening fast. Our bags are now for sale in some very nice, handpicked stores. Yet we are still very unknown, so the fact that we now have this huge window is thrilling.
Can you share more about how your background in Audiovisual Art influences your approach to handbag design?
Audiovisual art is a very immaterial medium. It is not something that people buy and take home with them. There never was a reason to consider saleability. Also, when I design a bag, I first of all think of what I want myself. Customers are, more or less, an afterthought. But don’t get me wrong, I find it very rewarding if people are eager to own my bags!
Perhaps my past in art is more obvious in the visuals we use. @kristavanderniet – the photographer who did our latest campaign shoot – has the same background. Her pictures totally capture the surreal atmosphere I was after.
