Cay Collective

🙏🏻 One Year with Cay Collective: A Journey That Changed Our Lives 🙏🏻 We are thrilled to share the milestone of our first year since launching Cay Collective, a platform dedicated to bringing together talented artists and designers. Over the past year, we have connected with over 100 creatives across Europe and expanded to international sales. Our journey has been remarkable, with sales reaching seven figures and hosting eight events, including a successful three-week pop-up store at Nordiska Kompaniet. Both Natalie and I cherish every moment of working on this venture. We are passionate about making a positive impact in a challenging industry, where we can apply our business school knowledge and skills to support and improve the creative sector. With great enthusiasm and anticipation, we look forward to dedicating ourselves full-time to Cay Collective this fall. #CayCollective #CreativeCommunity #Entrepreneurship #ArtAndDesign #BusinessGrowth #NordiskaKompaniet #PopUpStore #SupportArtists #Innovation #BusinessJourney

🌳 Crafting a Sustainable Future Through Small-Scale Art and Design 💚🙌🏼 🌍 At Cay Collective, we believe in the power of sustainability and the beauty of handcrafted art. Each piece in our collection is more than just a product—it's a story, a passion, and a commitment to a more thoughtful way of living. Why choose mass-produced when you can invest in originality? By acquiring unique pieces from emerging artists, you're not only enhancing your lifestyle but also making a meaningful impact on the planet and the creative community. ✅ Sustainability: Original art and fashion are produced on a smaller scale, often using repurposed materials, making them a greener alternative to mass production. 🎨 Support Emerging Artists: Your investment directly supports rising talents, helping them grow and gain recognition in their field. 🤝 Join an Inspiring Community: At Cay Collective, we empower creators and small entrepreneurs, making it easier for them to reach their audience and fulfill their dreams. Let's celebrate originality and make a difference—one handmade creation at a time. ✨ // Johanna, Natalie and the rest of the Cay Team💌
