Berlin is the nuts…!

A cool city with cool people. As mentioned in our previous post we were there for a week working alongside NoChintz on an exhibition stand to launch a new fashion range for global sports brand Canterbury of New Zealand at Bread & Butter Berlin – 07/09 July 2010.

I’m not going to dwell on this post, just to say that if you have the chance to visit Berlin in the summer, do it. It’s an amazing city, good people, fun, clean and loads to see and do. Here’s a run down of our week, check our flickr feed for pics…
