First of all, welcome to my bag site! My name is Schantel van der Merwe, and I live in the Johannesburg South Africa. I've been married for 6 years. And I've been a photographer for over 6 years.
Since I started shooting I’ve imagined the perfect bag that would carry all the necessities a photographer would want. Imagine my excitement when I discovered Kelly Moore bags (and a few other products that will be available on the Kiekie:kit site soon!). I immediately ordered myself one from the U.S . Unfortunately the ordering process was a long and expensive process, so I decided to import these awesome bags and make it more accessible to the South African photography market.
I want to encourage the photographers out there and give them more variety than what the South African market has to offer. With the Kelly Moore bags photographers have the opportunity where they can change a lens at a moment's notice without feeling the pressure of having the client wait. Trust me...I've been there. With more options you have more freedom and with more freedom you have more time to focus on your photography.
I hope you enjoy the products that we have to offer and that they really make your job more fun!
