      Owner and creative director of the Jannissima Concept Store

      I started my career by designing, developing, producing, branding and selling a sexy bag collection for adventures women who love to travel, such as my self. With this collection I received a lot of attention from the press and presented several times on international fairs and exhibitions. This started of my large net- work and was the kick of to start my own shop. My interest in leather goods was big and after the study of leather techniques I developed a leather business travel bags range which I still produce, sell and promote. My mission is to reach a large group of customers and make them more aware of all the quality there is to find in design products that are made in traditional craftsmanship ateliers. Also I want to connect shop owners and stimulate them to work together and grow to a more interesting way of retail and contact- ing the customer to give them a great and personal retail experience. Of course in all this a good team of professionals is essential. In the last years I learned to work and communicate with different people and motivate them to be a creative entrepreneur themselves. I started as a passioned designer and grew into a professional entrepreneur who is still growing in skills and volume. Jannissima Concept Store is a 300 m2 store where you can find a mixture of life style products: Design, art, gifts and fashion come together in this inspiring place in the city centre of Eindhoven.

      Senior Designer as lead styling

      Jannita van den Haak (34), hoofdontwerpster en eigenaar van het luxe lederwaren merk Jannissima, is als specialist styling gestart bij het Amsterdamse mobiliteitsproducten ontwerpbedrijf Bugaboo International, bekend om haar baanbrekende kinderwagens. Tien jaar geleden maakte de Award winnende ontwerper Van den Haak furore met haar eindexamen op de Design Academy Eindhoven: een luxueuze rugzak voor vrouwen die fashionable is en vol technische elementen zit. Die combinatie van mode en functionaliteit, met oog voor detail, is sindsdien haar handelsmerk. Van den Haak: “Ik ben gevraagd om de styling te doen bij Bugaboo, de grootste speler op het gebied van premium mobiliteitsproducten. Een enorme uitdaging bij een prachtig bedrijf waar wordt gewerkt met een groot team van experts die samen alle facetten van het productieproces van het begin tot het eind beheersen. Bugaboo is een geoliede machine die ervoor zorgt dat de kwaliteit van de designproducten altijd hoogwaardig is. Ik ben er trots op dat ik met mijn kennis en ervaring deel uit mag gaan maken van dit team.”Wat blijft bestaan is het label Jannissima waarvan de bestaande lederwaren collectie verder wordt ontwikkeld en uitgebreid. Jannissima blijft verkrijgbaar bij exclusieve winkels, zoals Mr Brown specs&beans Nieuwe Emmasingel 16 in Eindhoven, X-Bank in het W hotel Amsterdam, Galleria Rossana Orlandi in Milaan. Ook zijn de tassen verkrijgbaar via www.jannissima.com. Show less
