It is not about just WHO you know but about WHAT you know too!
This proves hugely important in the fashion industry and even more in Africa. To navigate the sourcing landscape of Africa’s fashion and textile industry you need to understand this industry, access the network, gain knowledge as well as have a community and partners.
One of the many challenges I hear creative entrepreneurs say when they enter Africa is that they are don’t know where to start. They need knowledge and RELIABLE support.
That is why I am inviting you access our training library the FASHION AFRICA VAULT.
