Overnight success stories are a curious thing. Maybe this is because they are never really born from some quick ideas and a single moment of action, but more likely the culmination of years of dedication, tenacity and a teaspoon or so of good old fashioned 'right place right time' luck.
Six years after its inception, the 'over night' success story of
Australian accessories labelMogil, is certainly
on the rise. Having always had a penchant for design and an obsession with accessories,
Mogil founder Gil Cowen, was serendipitously inspired
by a trip to Bali in 2001, where her attention was taken by the extraordinary
skills of local craftsmen. With a long held ambition of one day becoming
both self employed and canvassing her obsession for accessories into something
more than simple ideas on a page, Cowen immediately began thinking of
ways she could apply the traditional hand-made aesthetic into her own
range of luxury leather goods executed in simple yet sophisticated styles.
