Bakari Sibanda, the Head Designer and Founder of By Bakari a Zimbabwean Fashion Brand, joined us to talk about the exciting yet challenging world of fashion in Zimbabwe.

Entrepreneurship is not easy and it's harder still in the creative industry. Bakari answered some fundamental questions and they included:

  • How he creates and sources material
  • Processes and costs that influence the price of his designs
  • Trying and failing to sustain an e-commerce website
  • Dependency on social media as the only conceivable alternative to committing to an e-commerce platform
  • How he manages cashflow in Zimbabwe's unpredictable operating environment
  • The viability of "off the rack" vs custom/bespoke
  • Dealing with client demands and how to navigate tricky interactions
  • Managing "High-Value Clients" and honouring the reputation of the By Bakari Brand
  • What's hindering collaboration in the creative space in Zimbabwe
