Our Story
Hi everyone, my name is Marguerite van der Merwe,
I’m a mom of three and lover of all things pretty.
About 4 years ago, when my last baby was about 1 year old, I was looking for a nice picnic blanket,one that would be able to fit our family of 5.
I couldn’t find anything I liked, it was either too small, not machine washable or didn’t even have a bag or anything to put it in.
I scouted every shop and started looking online as well, nothing was available.
That is when Piekant Picnic was born, to fill a niche in the market and also to fulfil my creative side as I’m an artist at heart and love being creative.
From day one I loved working with all the lovely fabrics and that’s why I decided to custom make every order, that way I can ensure that the customers get what they’re looking for and I get to be creative and “build” lots of lovely and one-of-a-kind creations.
I love what I do and am living my passion every day and I’m sure you can see it in my blankets, every stitch is made with love and a lot of attention to detail to ensure my customers get a product that they can use for years and years to come.
Thank you for supporting local and helping me to live my dream. I hope you enjoy you Piekant Picnic blanket and build lots of family memories on it.
