Via la Moda bags – 2019 Lookbook
A couple of years ago my friend Adi (under our label Churche) and I got to shoot our first lookbook for Via La Moda, a luxury handbag brand based right here in Johannesburg. Last year they invited us back to shoot their 2019 Via la Moda range.

It feels like I haven’t posted a Churche shoot up on my blog in a long time so I’m really amped to share this lookbook that we created a little while back for Via la Moda. This shoot was also used to create a magazine for them, my first ever glossy magazine that has gone to print that I shot from cover to cover! It was so awesome receiving a copy and paging through it, seeing your work in print is a pretty amazing and real feeling.
Below you will find images from the whole lookbook. Adi and I worked really hard on this project and we’re so happy with how it turned out. Once again if there are any brands out there, big or small that are keen to work with us, please drop me a mail. All the projects that we shoot we conceptualise, art direct and produce ourselves, so all you would have to do is show us what you would like shot and we’ll do all the rest.

I love it when I stay in a hotel that doesn’t feel like a typical hotel and I especially love it when I can see that whoever owns the place has literally poured every ounce of their love into it and has considered everything from the smell when you walk in, to the art on the walls, to the shampoo bottles in the bathroom.
I was lucky enough to spend the night stretched out on a extra length (thank goodness because we all know how long my legs are) king sized bed in the very beautiful Teremok Boutique Lodge & Spa situated in Umhlanga Rocks. This more than captivating holiday home now turned 5-star luxury lodge was once filled with three generations of a Russian family called the Vladykins, but now belongs to Debbie Davidson and her daughters.
It was actually pretty amazing how from the minute I walked in I felt so welcomed and at home. It literally felt like I was visiting my extravagant Great Aunt who I only see once a year, but who loves me more than all her pugs and ex-husbands put together.
How lucky are we? Our friends from Pedersen + Lennard sent us this amazing piece from their collection called the Stockholm Cabinet as a present for our new home. We went to go pick it up last week and today it’s sitting pretty in the middle of our new bookshelf, which we are still in the process of unpacking all our stuff into (we’re getting there).
For those of you who don’t know, Pedersen + Lennard are 2 talented young lads from Cape Town who run a local furniture design house that makes very cool products including lighting, furniture, storage and special commissions. The made our tables for The Good Luck Club.
