Africa-Press – Lesotho. Founded by ‘Manaha Mahao (30) and ‘Maretšepile Chapi (32), On fleek fashion house was established in March 2020. They had each owned a fashion house before they collaborated to open a new one.
The two ambitious partners disclosed to Informative Newspaper that they noticed during the pandemic that their businesses were fighting a losing battle and
officially opened one fashion house in April, making toddlers clothes, especially capes as winter was approaching. They say what brought them into the
clothing business is their love for fashion that started from a very young age. ” The duo shared that starting the business in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic has
been very challenging as the materials they use are either scarce or too expensive. They said this forced them to fork money out of their own pockets to
keep the business operational throughout. They also raised the fact that they are unable to increase prices because there is a global financial struggle hence people will not buy their garments.
“The COVID-19 regulations have also resulted into the decreased number of events, halting tailoring
services demands therefore the business is not as good as it would be before,” noted Mahao. “The material prices have increased and the garments are unavailable in stores
because the owners are restricted to go outside the country as we do not have a local manufacturing company,” Chapi added. She quickened to say, “however, we
are grateful for the undying support that we get from our families, friends and customers who keep coming despite the bad impact created by the atrocious
virus. ” The partners have recently joined Finite Magazine Lifestyle club and say they were fascinated by the benefits that come with the partnership.
“Finite Lifestyle club sales consultant approached us and shed the light on the benefits of partnering with the club and we were sold.
We saw an affordable opportunity that comes with incredible benefits that we cannot get from anywhere else,” explained Mahao. The new partners urged that it is high time that people joined the club because it
gives “the thrill of exposure to new customers”. Located at Wool Wagon building room 3, On fleek fashion house offers 20% discount to club members depending on the number of items bought.
