CRAVE Buzz Party at Joline Jolink Atelier

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Seduced by the wines of Golden Grapes and enchanted by the new spring collection of Joline Jolink the CRAVE entrepreneuresses came in masses to meet each other, meet the CRAVE concept and have fun.

The wines of Golden Grapes from South Africa were a hit for a good reason. Their superb taste accompanied the night, easing the rainy mood and the conversation. Thank you Suzanne Moen for sponsoring the night!

It was a privilege to be in a famous Dutch designer atelier and enjoy her new spring collection: “For women with something to do” – what a great slogan and how in touch with the women present at the party.  We thank you Joline Jolink for your warm welcome in your atelier and for baking your famous tart for us. The participant ladies there also received a goodie bag at the end of the evening with a surprise 25€ off of any purchase till 31 Dec 2010!

We met a lot of successful and gutsy lady entrepreneurs and we connected them with each other. Our ever growing Dutch female community has been enriched with the new ladies present at the CRAVE buzz party and we hope they will also be featured in our CRAVE Guide of Women entrepreneurs you MUST know.

Recap: CRAVE Amsterdam Buzz Party

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

Through blistering wind and snow flurries, the wonderful women of Amsterdam came out in droves to see what this CRAVE thing was all about!

Held at Friday Next by Athalie Stegeman, our brave CRAVE ambassador, the Buzz Party was a celebration of the some of the finest entreprenesses in the city, accompanied by delicious fresh prosecco, compliments of Friday Next and sweet treats home baked by our very own CRAVE girl Cristina Stoian.

Friday Next is a refreshing concept store for interior design and lifestyle, combining retail with professional services with the sales of accessories, coffee & lunch. A unique mix of furniture, fashion and food. A much appreciated experience by other CRAVE members who were present at the party.

Designing and manufacturing business women met to share ideas on business growth through cooperation, on visibility and expanding their sales-points. Communications, online media expertise and personally guided shopping touring led to new content, co-creation and possible CRAVE set up for Rotterdam & The Hague area.
