Claire Van Der Merwe | Almost-Wifey | Mother

I started FinndieLoo in 2010 as a hobby to keep me occupied while we had two babies pretty much back to back! I feel so grateful to now have a little business that grows bigger each year, and to be able to work with these amazing people.
Heidi Tapper | Wife | Mother

My numbers guru! Heidi is my dear friend and the Accountant for FinndieLoo. She has helped me grow my business and offers much support and encouragement along the way.
Sandy Chisnall | Wife | Mother

Sandy customises our orders with names. She also packs all the completed orders and arranges the courier collection. She owns every single product that FinndieLoo has ever made, and gives me a huge support in running my business. It is fantastic having an extra set of hands up in our work studio.
