Greetings friends.

Springleap.com has now been around for more than a year and a half and continues to grow from strength to strength. When we first started the company we were driven to not only help expose the best up and coming design talent, but also to bring you a top quality garment that would stand up against the quality of foreign brands…things have not changed in this regard. We have tweaked and we have fiddled, we have asked your advice and we have scoured SA for the best cotton and printing facilities. Finally it seems that we have a winning combination of all these factors and are now moving into extremely positive territory in regards to design.
Ladies and gents I give you Springleap.com Generation 5!

Meow to you all!

Here is some grand news for all of you theatre lovers out there. The Cats musical will be gracing our countries best stages for the second time around. Thats right, Andrew Llyod Webber’s extremely popular stage play is back and ready to captivate a whole new generation of theatre goers.
If you haven’t heard of Cats before, now is the time to sit up and take notice. This production may just transform a non-believer into an avid groupie of theatre.

Ok for those of you who are in the dark about this magical production, here is the basic storyline:
The story unfolds in a junkyard where all of the local cats are auditioning to be selected by Old Deuteronomy, who is their leader, to travel to the Heavyside lair to be reborn.
The outcast glamour cat Grizabella is shunned by the rest of the cats, however she is adamant to be included in the festivities of The Jellicle Ball.

Greetings everyone.

Today I thought I’d mention a design fad that, for the most part, really annoys me.
 This hellish fad is the process of taking a new shiny item and making it “retro”.
You know, like the way kids buy a new skateboard and bash it on the sidewalk to make it look like they have been riding it hardcore. LOL.
The latest company to try out this design tactic are none other than guitar mega giants Fender, who have recently released their Fender Road Worn Series.
I’m not impressed!

First off let me just say that I am not a musician, my guitar playing power extends to a pretty shoddy version of Smoke on the Water….it’s bad.
However, I am an appreciator of music and I really look up to the men and women who can really make a guitar sing. What I have difficulty understanding is why Fender have chose to take their guitars and give them a fake worn aesthetic. Seriously, can you say contrived magic?
Honestly a guitar is an extension of the guitarist. It should be a companion that travels and grows with you as you progress. All the personal scuffs and dings should tell a story.
