I’ve never really been much of a brand-slave. Guess, Puma and the other high fashion brands have never held much appeal. That is why my growing obsession with Springleap t-shirts took me by surprise – I would not normally have paid R183 for a t-shirt (I’m really cheap and buy most of my clothes at Mr Price).
Springleap is different though. When I put on a Springleap shirt, I am wearing a piece of limited edition art that is truly Proudly South African. I feel special knowing I’m not only supporting a fantastic local initiative, but I’m also one step ahead of the clones in their mass produced designer gear.
So you can imagine my excitement when I ordered my 1st Springleap ‘piece’ and I was told that a bonus shirt was on it’s way to me – free!! I got my awesome bonus shirt in the mail and 3 days later, the print got ironed over. I threw an epic tantrum and – to shut me up – my friend got me a replacement shirt for Christmas! Yay! To celebrate, I ordered another shirt. Not 2 days later I got an email to tell me another friend had bought me a Springleap shirt for Christmas… Super yay!
But wait, there’s more… I went to collect all my awesome artworks at Springleap’s offices in Cape Town today and Eric gave me & Shaun 2 more promo Springleap shirts!!! It just keeps getting better!
I think this will be the start of an extensive collection of these awesome shirts – I’m even thinking of wearing only Springleap t-shirts, dressed up with jackets and heels, to work (maybe I’ll even start a trend).
HUGE thanks go to Eric, Eran and the Springleap team for all the great work and fantastic service… and if anyone is looking for inspiration on what to buy me for my birthday, My size is Ladies Large. 
The start of what will undoubtedly be a HUGE collection

I consider may possibly to be a superb writer but you need usually put your personality inside your posts. You can have valuable content material but if it isn’t written effectively persons won’t continue to read it. Jenny
