World Buzz - Shoe Designer - AFRICAN START-UP

I like featuring great start ups around the world. As a fellow 'fashionista' I understand the challenges & 'let downs' one may face but with vision and perseverance nothing is impossible.

"We started buying machines and brought them over to the house," says the young entrepreneur, who launched the company from his parents' garage. "We had no intentions of starting the factory in the house, but one thing led to another and we just had to start.”
