About Us

Meet

Petri van Niekerk

Founder

In 2012 God gave me the idea of designing, printing and manufacturing a clothing range with Proteas, Windmills and other South African images on and to include His scriptures on the clothing. 

After my divorce in 2017 I closed RegtigBlessed, but God made a way for me in 2018 to re-open again.  As I developed new products, I felt that something was missing and that God had bigger, better plans for RegtigBlessed.  In 2023 He placed a new dream in my heart to design a South African Delft collection.  Over the next couple of months I was frustrated in every effort that I made to get the collection going.  I wasn’t aware that God was busy behind the scenes, preparing the way…

In November 2024 I desperately cried out to God for help with RegtigBlessed.  Dunamis Textile Printers kept me busy 24/7 and I didn’t have the time to work on new designs.  One morning I asked God to show me who I should approach for a collaboration, I knew I needed someone who understood my vision and would have the time to hand paint every element needed to create a stunning collection that would glorify God and bring our vision to life.  Immediately God answered me and told me who to contact; a new client of Dunamis Textile Printers who approached us to print her “Blommelappe” watercolour collection just two months prior.  I made contact with Mariki right away and together we discovered that God was preparing us both all along in order for us to be ready to work together on this beautiful South African collection. 

As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are His thoughts higher than our thoughts and His ways than our ways!  We would have never been able to create this stunning collection without God who is the source of our creative endeavors!

God has called me to use RegtigBlessed to reach people with His message of hope and healing through my testimony.

Mariki Venter

Artist, Illustrator & Textile Designer

Mariki’s passion is to make God’s creation visible through watercolour illustrations that glorify Him and magnify the beauty that we sometimes miss in the busyness of life.  God has taken Mariki on a journey where things didn’t go as planned in order for her to cross paths with Petri at exactly the right time.  This divine intervention by God is the foundation of a brand new collaboration with new and exciting designs.  Our designs are hand painted by Mariki and digitally placed and printed by Petri to create the most beautiful South African inspired products in a fresh new way.

History

Where it all began

969973_526510830719162_647557398_n

Long ago...

In 2012 I went through a very difficult time, but God saved me out of a deep dark place and showed me what He wanted me to do… He enabled me to open a clothing factory.  It has been the most exciting time of my life and also one of the most difficult times, but God has never left my side!

A divine collaboration formed...

Since 2017 we have added more products to our existing clothing brand.  We created bags, decor and more clothing styles.

In November 2024 God orchestrated a meeting between two creatives, Petri and Mariki, in order to do something NEW and FRESH to glorify Him and be witnesses of His omnipotence.

Our products are a testimony of what God can do when we surrender and trust in Him completely, without making our own plans and relying on our own understanding.
