In a world that often measures success by convention, Mo’s journey stands out like a vine breaking through stone; resilient, purposeful, and entirely her own.
In 2024, Mo made history as the South African winner of the Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman Award, a prestigious honour celebrating trailblazing women in business. And while the award itself was momentous, what followed was nothing short of legendary: a vineyard in Reims, France, was named after her. Yes! a vineyard, in the heart of Champagne country.
This gesture by Veuve Clicquot wasn’t just symbolic. It was a testament to the spirit of boldness, vision, and deep-rooted commitment to sustainable impact that Mo represents the same qualities that built Mo’s Crib into the globally recognised décor brand it is today.
A Legacy Etched in Soil
Nestled among rows of historic vines in Reims, the vineyard bearing Mo’s name is more than a plot of land. It’s a living tribute to the bold, eco-conscious entrepreneur from South Africa who turned waste into wonder, and ideas into impact. To have a piece of the Champagne region carry her name is a reflection of what Mo stands for: authenticity, sustainability, and unstoppable creativity.
From Bold to Forbes
Mo’s inspiring story didn’t stop at the vineyard. She was recently featured in Forbes, where she opened up about her entrepreneurial journey, the humble beginnings, the hurdles, and the passion that built Mo’s Crib. It’s a powerful reminder that boldness isn’t about being fearless; it’s about moving forward with purpose even when the road is uncertain. Read the full Forbes article here.
What This Means for the Mo’s Crib Community
At Mo’s Crib, we believe boldness is a lifestyle, a mindset woven into every basket, chair, rug, and recycled piece of PVC we craft. Mo’s international recognition is not just her victory, it belongs to every artisan who shows up with pride, every customer who supports conscious design, and every woman who dares to build something meaningful.
So here’s to Mo, the vineyard in Reims, and every chapter still to be written.
