Gracia Bampile, a South African entrepreneur taking African fashion to the world  — Lionesses of Africa

Why should anyone use your service or product?

I make clothes for the everyday person, I make clothes for a person who is going to a wedding, to a red carpet, to an event or to church. It is quality, its detail-oriented, it’s authentic, our outfits and products are beautiful and they suit any kind of person. Any kind of women or man feels comfortable in our clothes

Tell us a little about your team

I have a very hardworking and wonderful team.

Share a little about your entrepreneurial journey. And, do you come from an entrepreneurial background?

The first year when we launched it did not do well.  People loved the brand but financially it was not doing as well as I thought it would. I had a long-term vision for the brand but my short term and my current circumstances were not necessarily reflecting those aspirations. I am so happy I come from an entrepreneurial background I learnt from an early age that business does not pick up overnight. 

What are your future plans and aspirations for your company?

AFRICA to the WORLD, literally.
