14 VAESSEN CREATIVE Designer Marlene Meijer-van Niekerk is partnering with Vaessen Creative on new Art by Marlene collections. The first release is planned for March 2027. The products included in that release will be announced at a later date. For Marlene, choosing a new partner was a careful and personal process. She spoke with several companies, spent considerable time thinking about the future of Art by Marlene and visited Vaessen Creative before making her decision. There she found the combination she was looking for: a professional team that contributes ideas with energy and enthusiasm, room to follow her own creative direction and opportunities to develop new products and make them available through an extensive international distribution network. Ultimately, the feeling was also decisive. The collaboration builds on the colourful, playful and imaginative style that Art by Marlene enthusiasts know. Marlene wants to preserve that recognisable world while making room for new details and products. Art by Marlene is known for products including paper, stamps, cutting dies, embossing products and stencils. In the run-up to the first release, Art by Marlene and Vaessen Creative will share more about the new collections. info@vaessen-creative.com www.vaessen-creative.com BEHRENS GROUP Believe it or not, the Behrens Group is already looking ahead to Christmas 2027!
