Looking back on two years of Moodies
What a ride! Moodies has been around for two years now, and today, November 12th, we launched our webshop two years ago. In this short time, we've experienced and learned an incredible amount. Launching Moodies in 2021 was an exciting challenge, especially because period underwear was still relatively unknown in the Netherlands at the time.
