My name is Michael Weiss, and my journey in the textile industry began with a vision and determination—despite starting without a dollar in my pocket and got the funds from the client to pay directly to the supplier and keep my profit . The early days were incredibly challenging. I found suppliers for textile products online, primarily focusing on shoes, bags, t-shirts, belts, swimsuits, hats, and more. Remarkably, I have yet to meet any of these suppliers in person.

I began by selling small quantities of these textile products, shipping them through DHL Express. Initially, my customers were people I knew, but convincing them to purchase items they had only seen in pictures was no easy feat. However, with persistence, I slowly earned their trust. Each satisfied customer spread the word, leading to more sales.

As I saved the money I earned, I took a leap of faith and opened my first online shop. I marketed my products through Facebook, and while sales were modest at first, I refused to give up. After six months of hard work and small investments, my shop began to flourish. This success inspired me to open another shop, and I implemented what I had learned to make it even better and more efficient. Within two months, I expanded my reach further, ultimately establishing a total of 11 international shops, each generating significant sales and shipping directly from suppliers to customers via DHL Express.

After several successful years in the textile industry, where I became one of the leading importers of small quantities, I felt a strong desire to expand my business into Africa. The initial phase was tough, but through dedication and perseverance, I developed the business into what it is today.
