That almost sounds like a description of yourself.
Haha yes it does, doesn’t it. I always try to stay true myself when designing and Marieke shares that idea. To be honest, I also only wear my own sunglasses nowadays. My preference goes out to large frames which can often feel heavy to wear, or they keep sliding off your nose. When I wear my own sunglasses, I experience none of that. I don’t even notice that I’m wearing them and the lenses feel really comfortable to the eyes. I can literally wear them the entire day. My personal favorite is The Island in the color Meringue.
Are you enjoying the different things you’re doing?
Yes, very much. It all feels very go-with-the-flow at the moment. Especially these last few years, with so much changing in the world. There’s just no predicting the future. So I’ve been keeping myself busy with different things: our brand new coffee bar just opened and I have a collaboration with a Polish brand lined up, creating a collection together. And of course, family life never stops.
You light up when you talk about your different projects.
Thank you. I feel very content, that’s the most important to me. Thing don’t always go the way you plan, but as long as you keep trying and enjoy the ride, the rest always follows.
