There are 40,000+ fashion brands in Nigeria and over 200,000 fashion brands
in Africa, but no centralised platform dedicated to them- which means
nowhere for buyers to search through a curated catalogue of African fashion
brands. Fashtracker is a platform that solves these problems - For sellers, we
create a curated and appropriate sales avenue -For buyers, we create a
platform which makes it easier to sift through products systematically and find
exactly what they need.
