MARCH BIKUFAN: TANJA BACH

My name is Tanja Bach, the Founder of Contents Bridge KK, a learning and development company providing action-inspired soft skill training for corporations as well as executive and entrepreneur coaching. We will be adding graphic recording services to our offerings as soon as I have completed the certification process. 

I'm originally from Germany, grew up in Switzerland, studied in the US and have lived in Japan longer than anywhere else in the world. (Long enough to see that slivers of silver are starting to add sparkle to my dark hair). 

It's difficult to summarize why I love Japan so much.  For starters, my soulmate is Japanese. I also love that Japan is a country of contrasts, modern and old, innovative and traditional.  If you open your eyes, there's so much to see.  I learned  to appreciate the small things and look for beauty everywhere. That's also one reasons I love Bikudesigns. Victoria manages to transform old things into modern jewelry in an innovative and wearable way.

It all started when I had the pleasure to work with Victoria as a committee member of the FEW Japan WSC (Women`s Start-up Club) and she showed us some of her summer collection.  I knew that she also created bespoke items.  I had just finished a large sample quilt  (one of my many hobbies) and there was a scrap of my favorite fabric left.  I couldn't bear to throw it, so I asked Victoria to turn it into something wearable.

A few months later, Bikudesigns (aka Victoria), started to advertise the Leap Collection 2020, a collection of "unique and never to be repeated" earring designs. I mean: UNIQUE and NEVER to be repeated?!  Who doesn't want to wear one of those around town! Plus she turned it into a treasure hunt, only revealing the new designs on the day of. And so I woke up in the morning and checked the Bikudesigns webpage while I drank my cup of coffee.  `Cause, you never know, there might be pair I just need to have....
