  • Championing Female Entrepreneurship:Entries for the 2025 Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman Award Open in South Africa

    A new era of bold leadership is here. The Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman Award returns for its fourth year in South Africa, again shining a light on the visionaries, trailblazers, and risk-takers redefining industries. For over five decades, the Bold Woman Award has championed exceptional women in business, celebrating leaders who don’t just build companies but change the conversation globally. Since its inception in 1972, over 450 remarkable women have been honoured worldwide, joining a global community of Bold female leaders who thrive on innovation, resilience, and fearless ambition. In 2025, a new chapter begins, offering opportunities for yet another generation of extraordinary female entrepreneurs. With two distinct categories—the Bold Woman Award for established leaders (more than 5 years in business) and the Bold Future Award for rising entrepreneurs (less than 5 years in business)—Veuve Clicquot continues to amplify the impact of women who challenge convention and propel industries forward. But this award is more than recognition; it’s a powerful platform for influence, visibility, and connection, offering unparalleled access to an inspiring global network of like-minded, determined women. Madame Clicquot was just 27 when she took the reins of Maison Veuve Clicquot when women had no seat at the business table or the right to open a bank account. Instead of merely accepting the status quo and conforming to these limitations, she shattered the mould—she revolutionised the industry by pioneering vintage champagne, the riddling table, and the first known blended rosé. Her visionary spirit and relentless determination broke barriers, setting a precedent for generations of women to come—to this day, her story serves as a bold blueprint for modern entrepreneurs who dare to lead on their terms. As part of Veuve Clicquot’s mission to empower women in business, the Maison created the Veuve Clicquot Bold International Barometer—a pioneering study launched in 2019 to track the evolution of female entrepreneurship worldwide. The Barometer, which is a key pillar of the Bold by Veuve Clicquot programme, offers critical insights into the challenges, triumphs and mindset of women entrepreneurs, helping to shape the future of female leadership. In South Africa, the appetite for entrepreneurship is strong. The latest findings reveal a compelling truth: South African women are driving business like never before. In 2023, 61% of South African women identified as entrepreneurs, with the highest participation among those aged 20 to 29. Despite the survey suggesting that the rate of global female entrepreneurship has slowed, the country defies the trend, standing out as a leader in female-driven business. Now, the Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman Award seeks to fuel this momentum. Businesswomen who are ready to be recognised for their business achievements are called to enter the 2025 Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman Award. Entries open on 3 March and close on 13 April 2025. HOW TO ENTER: To enter the Bold Woman Award, candidates must be founders or CEOs of a company for more than five years, have demonstrated transformation and evolution in their field, and supported growth for at least two years while maintaining an ethical approach to business. To qualify for the Bold Future Award, candidates must be the founders or CEOs of a company that has been in existence for less than five years. In that time, the candidate must have made a significant contribution to the success of their company by instilling a sense of entrepreneurship and have made a tangible contribution to transformation in an existing market, while bringing ethical change to the company. Three finalists in each category will be selected by an esteemed jury and will be invited to attend the Bold Woman Award ceremony on 16 July where one laureate in each of the categories will be lauded by a grand jury. The Bold Woman Award winner will travel to Reims, France, for an immersion in the history, tradition, and luxury of Maison Veuve Clicquot. Entries open on 3 March and close on 13 April 2025. Business leaders and role models who are ready to be recognised for their remarkable success are invited to enter the Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman Award by completing a simple form via  boldopendatabase.com/en/bold-woman-award   —  the Bold Open Data Base connects and elevates female entrepreneurs globally, offering visibility, networking, and community support. Applicants must be an official resident of South Africa and the business must be based in or operating in South Africa. The finalists will be selected by an independent panel of judges. #VEUVECLICQUOTXWOMEN

Image supplied “It’s key to have elements of functionality, mixed with a sense of conceptual art and style,” says Nicole. “Creating pieces that can be multi-purpose but also fun has always been my goal.

Image supplied The Vans x Nicole McLaughlin Slip-On RS will be available in two colourways, Tanl and Grey while the Vans x Nicole McLaughlin Rucksack and Vans x Nicole McLaughlin Rucksock will be available in Oatmeal.

Going off-grid, the Slip-On RS unpacks with tiny survival tools and sets up camp in a scaled-down outdoor world. The collection is also showcased inside a mini replica of Nicole’s own atelier, a nod to her unconventional creative process. Shot and styled by Nicole herself, the campaign flips the script on functional design to prove that utility and imagination go hand in hand. Image supplied “I love DIY culture and designs people can interact with and further customise themselves,” says Nicole. “I encourage people to make the pieces their own and I’m excited to see how they will be personalised!” The Vans x Nicole McLaughlin collection will be available to shop on Vans.co.za and at select retailers beginning 27 February 2025.`

  • Celebrate Unapologetic Originality With Espolòn This Margarita Month.

    The Margarita. A drink so iconic it has its own holiday. February 22 may be Margarita Day, but Espolòn knows better—this drink deserves an entire month. So let’s make it official: February is Margarita Month. A whole 28 days to shake, sip, and toast to one of the most legendary cocktails of all time. Image supplied This year, Espolòn is here to make sure you don’t settle for a basic Marg. Enter the Grand Margarita, a smoother, richer, and far more impressive take on the classic. Image supplied A Drink with History (and Some Mystery) The origins of the Margarita are as legendary as the drink itself. No one can quite agree on who first mixed tequila, lime, and orange liqueur to create the timeless cocktail. Some say it was developed in the 1930s by a bartender for a showgirl who only drank tequila. Others believe it was the accidental brainchild of a Tijuana socialite. No matter the tale, one fact remains: Margarita is a global icon. Image supplied For a cocktail with this much history, only the right tequila will do. And no tequila does it quite like Espolòn. Crafted in the highlands of Jalisco, Espolòn is a tribute to Mexico’s rebellious spirit and artistic soul. Founded by Maestro Tequilero Cirilo Oropeza, Espolòn defies convention by combining time-honoured traditions with innovative techniques to create a tequila that’s bold, complex, and unapologetically smooth. Ordinary Just Won’t Do on Margarita Month Dare to think beyond the basics this Margarita Month. Because if you’re going to celebrate, do it grand.  The Espolòn Grand Margarita is a sophisticated take on the classic that swaps triple sec for Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge, bringing in rich cognac depth and bright, bitter orange complexity. The result is a Margarita that’s bolder, smoother, and downright irresistible. Ingredients: 2 parts Espolòn Reposado 1 part Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge 1 part Fresh lime juice 5ml part Agave nectar Lime wheel garnish and salt Method: Run a lime around the edge of a coupette glass, then dip it into fine salt. Combine all ingredients with ice and shake well. Double strain into the prepared glass. Garnish with a lime wedge or peel. Margarita Month isn’t about playing it safe. It’s about raising a glass to bold choices, smooth tequila, and doing things differently. Grab a bottle of Espolòn Reposado, mix up a Grand Margarita, and toast to a drink that refuses to be ordinary. For more cocktails and inspiration, follow Espolòn on Instagram  and Facebook .
