Crumping with Crompton

Last weekend kiswa attended one of designedobjectstasmania's Professional Development Workshop Seminars on Entrepreneurship and Branding hosted by Abi Crompton of Third Draw Down. We were given a history of Abi's success and a rundown of some of her favorite objects' which she is currently selling, including what she sees as their prominent design features. She was kind enough to give us some advice on how to market, what we are now calling, our multipurpose pencil case (as everyone loves them but responds "its a pity, I don't use pencils any more" or "their too nice for pencils"). We'll keep you posted on the developments. We would like to thank DOT for organising the workshop and Abi for her expertise and advice.

kiswa's new tea towels

With the opening of the Tea Towel Exhibition, we've been hard at work to bring you a new selection of our tea towels. We hope you like.

The Market in November

We at kiswa would like to thank everyone who attended The Market, Nov 15, for their support, feedback, and general good spirits. We had a great time and hope that you did too.


Our tea towels (above) are doing really well and the introduction of our new badges (below) has been great for our product mix. From the way they sold and everyone's responses, you all seem to be happy with these new products.

A big thank you to all the behind the scenes workers who can together to set up The Market and create a great market atmosphere.

New kiswa Badges

Over the past few months we at kiswa have been toying with ways to improve and expand our product range. Some ideas have worked and other we are continuing to workshop. However, we are pleased to share our new products.

kiswa badges: while making a range of larger products, we have noticed that a range of smaller kiswa products has been missing. As a result we have started producing a range of 43mm badges. As can be seen, all our badges carry a piece of our distinctly kiswa cloth.

To make the kiswa badges an even better gift, we package them in a kiswa printed envelope.

We are pleased with our new range of badges and we hope that you enjoy them too.
