Rachel and the team have never done anything like this before, so they are learning new skills as they go! Brilliant idea by WESSA to recycle the Blue Flags from the previous years and transform them into a nifty drawstring bag for the beach stewards to use. We just love that it is part of a job creation initiative and cares for our environment.If I had to choose a son ...Denzil is a young South African dreaming big.Original TBag Designs2016-07-01 | Mavis, a senior artist at Original T-Bag Designs, bids farewell to Denzil Smith who has just been awarded a scholarship to attend Big Fish School of Digital Filmmaking. This is an incredible moment. Mavis has never had the courage to speak in front of the group before. But this is Denzil's gift to us - he radiates joy and a humble spirit and it has affected each and everyone of us at Original T-Bag Designs in a very positive way. We will miss you Denzil, but we are so excited for your future! www.tbagdesigns.co.zaOriginal T-Bag Designs, Cape Town, South AfricaOriginal TBag Designs2016-03-15 | A responsible tourism destination and job creation initiative.
