Hey Keepers! Yesterday was actually my birthday (yay!) and one of my goals before I hit the big 22 was to post a blog. Although I am one day late, I think I’ll forgive myself, and I hope you can too :) Please enjoy!!!
Once upon a time - when I was just a little year 11 kid - I was walking the streets of Melbourne after school, looking for a bag. That is when I saw BeeKeeper Parade for the first time, struck by the alluring fabrics I walked into the little shop beneath the stairs.
Like many of you I was captured by Koky, his story and the work of BeeKeeper before I could say the word backpack. I stayed in the shop talking for more than an hour before I even touched a product. Eventually I picked up a bag, and like Harry Potter getting his first wand, the bag had chosen me.
Since then, my backpack: has traveled with me to over 25 countries; been my daily carry for 3 years of university; seen the start and end of my first real adult relationship; witnessed the birth of numerous first and second cousins; and countless other moments in my life.
I have had this bag for over five years and worked at BeeKeeper for more than two of those. Since then many things have changed but the love and admiration I have for this place has not. I am blessed to work here and blessed to have Koky as a boss, and even more so as a friend.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to stop and say thanks to Koky and all those who have made my BeeKeeper Journey such an amazing experience... so... THANK-YOU!!!
Until next time, stay bee-autiful people,
William <3
Love this Will, hope you write more soon!! ❤️
