Since one launch event just wasn’t enough, we had another! Sunday December 9th was our official Shanghai launch party to celebrate the arrival of meroware in China. The entire team from SIM Design was in full attendance to mark our first chapter of mero outside Japan.
It was an action packed weekend in snowy Pudong. A big thanks to the Jing Republic VM team (we love you 小方）, the bakery team who spent all day making our custom mero treats, floor manager Paul, and of course the one who made it all possible (masterchef) Barry Lee! Secondly, we also couldn’t have done it without the support of the most fabulous White Bazaar team 白集 from Beijing who helped our vision come to life. Our gorgeous photography was taken by 纯真博物照相馆 after a rigorous talent hunt to find a photographer in Shanghai that could match our style.
Last but not least, a big thank you to our internal group’s team members who got tricked into thinking it was a party but instead spent two days hanging, glueing, folding, moving and cleaning. (oops did we forgot to mention all the customisation needed hands to put it together? #sorrynotsorry)
We felt the love from Shanghai moms and their families. Mr. Swan was trampled by dozens of laughing toddlers (it’s ok that’s what he’s there for) and everyone left with their own decorated box of cookies or cupcakes from our workshops. Is fair to say we earned a good rest over the holidays. Cant wait for 2019!
