A Letter from our Founder, Anna van den Bogert
A Parting of Paths
Soon, an extraordinary journey ends for me. For twelve years, I have dedicated most of my time, passion, and creativity to building Artipoppe. It has been my home, my family, and most of all, my playground. A playground where I got to know new angles of myself and discover many of my strengths and weaknesses. A playground of dreams and imagination. A playground of co-creating experiences together with you.
Over the last two years, I have been slowly letting go of my position as creative director as I noticed an inner call to explore new avenues for creative self-expression. For me, embracing this new step comes right alongside leaving Artipoppe in the trusted hands of my Artipoppe family. Not only did we create this beautiful company together, but we saw it grow and bring meaningful change to the world in ways beyond our wildest dreams.
My wish to all of you in our Artipoppe community is to live a life full of beauty and joy. May you conquer your fears, live your dreams, and cherish your experiences. May you prosper.
Goodbye, in eternal gratitude to all of you,
Anna
A Trip Down Memory Lane

Anna’s home office back in the day mainly consisted of piles of fabrics and baby wraps.
