The Core Fashion Kenya and FedEx, have collaborated for the Monthly Fashion Roundtable Talks in Nairobi to engage Kenyan Fashion brands shipping their products across the continent and worldwide. The Roundtable Talks aims to foster dynamic collaborations and secure the right support to advance the fashion industry. FedEx comes on board as the logistics partner to ensure products are efficiently delivered to their customers in Africa and globally.
Linda Murithi Founder, of The Core Kenya and The Round Table, says, “In our ongoing mission to revolutionize the fashion business, we are thrilled to highlight the pivotal role played by our esteemed logistic partners. FedEx has been instrumental in ensuring that our operations run smoothly and efficiently, underscoring the importance of having robust logistical support as we push the boundaries of the fashion industry.
Our collaboration with Skyward Express, our trusted local airline partner, has been crucial as we expand fashion tourism to various exciting destinations, thereby promoting Kenya’s rich fashion landscape on a global stage.
We are also excited to announce our partnership with New Faces New Voices. They are dedicated to bridging the funding gap for women-owned businesses across Africa and advocating for essential policy and legislative changes. This alignment is a testament to our shared vision of empowering women and driving positive change within the industry.
Furthermore, our collaboration with Ubuntu Life exemplifies the spirit of The Round Table Talks. By providing a platform for two or three deserving designers and artisans to showcase their work on their e-commerce platform, Ubuntu Life embodies the very essence of our initiative—elevating the fashion industry through meaningful partnerships and sponsorships.
We are incredibly grateful for our partners and sponsors, whose contributions are vital to achieving our mission and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the fashion world. Together, with the support of these incredible partners, we continue to champion the agenda of fashion innovation, tourism, and entrepreneurship.”
