There is no worse nightmare than to walk into a party
and find someone else wearing the same outfit as yours. OMG I die!!!
So to
avoid such mishaps I make sure I buy my clothes in boutiques or shops where the
outfit is the only one in stock. Of late I have fallen in love with the
amazing Nothando Mpofu’s Vintage Kloset.
Mpofu is
a Bulawayo based young lady who has seen her hobby and love for fashion turn
into something huge.
Vintage
Kloset has become the fashion haven for a lot of fashion lovers like me.
This week
on Fashion Friday I caught up with Nothando to find out how she has successfully
turned a hobby into a thriving business.
1.
How did Vintage Kloset start?
Its an idea that I started pursuing
early last year with reservations of course because I was not
sure of how people would take it but its been an exciting venture so
far.
2.
What made you choose vintage clothing?
It’s the desire to look different, fashion is
ever evolving but there is something about vintage clothing that makes it
classic and ever fashionable.
3.
How has the public responded to
Vintage Kloset?
The response has been great so far, people love
the stuff I am offering. The nice thing about vintage clothing is that it’s
unique and if you are that kind of person who does not follow trends but sets
own trend it’s the best style to go because every piece of clothing is
different in its own way.
4.
Who is your target market?
It’s any woman who is style conscious and it’s
not even for my age mates only because my mother is one of my best clients
because to her it seems all my stuff makes her feel nostalgic.
5.
So where can one find Vintage
Kloset?
I do not have a shop at the moment and I am
not planning on opening one in the near future because to me this is a hobby
turned into business because I love fashion and dressing up generally. So I
usually do pop-up sales every month-end in Bulawayo and I recently started
selling stuff online on my Face book page - Vintage Kloset, Instagram -
@thevintagekloset and Twitter its @VintageKloset . So far the response has been
amazing and I really need to put more time into it.
6.
So Nothando do you get off your
own supply?
Oh yes I
definitely am always getting high off my own supply. Like I said earlier I fail
to define my style too because I surprise myself, I am very experimental, I
like to set my own trend and am just in love with vintage clothing because it
brings out that originality in me. I don t want to dress like anyone I see on
TV I just want to dress up my own way.
So ladies
head over to Vintage Kloset like, follow and stay in the know of the next
fashion pop-up sale. Vintage never goes out of style, why look like the rest
when you can be the Best?
God Is
Love
Emma
Love it!!
