There are new prints in the market which are moving so well I need them.
I have also managed to get some clients abroad I want to send some samples and conquer the market.
We are also heading to August and most occasions are happening. These occasions are African themed especially weddings and paying of dowries.
I want to be on the move with what is trending in the market.
