Hey there Munafam! We’ve got another cool giveaway for you this week. We stumbled across Llulo on instagram, and immediately fell in love with their brand. Inspired by the continent of Africa, Llulo incorporates Ankara fabrics and other textiles into their designs. We love the fun vibe in the items and the use of prints. For instance, check out the new Ankara socks in their shop! In this week’s giveaway, you have a chance to win the insanely popular Leather Motherland Crewneck. Enjoy our interview with the founder, Michelle, then catch the giveaway rules at the end of the post.
When and how did you get started in your business?
I started LLULO my senior year of college at the University of North Texas. I started with a small, handmade Africa shaped brooch. I started giving them to people to wear during our African Student Organization meetings and on campus. I seriously didn’t know if would take off as it did.
What did you do before starting your company?
I was a full time Fashion Merchandising student. I knew I wanted to be a CEO… I was just unsure of what company it would be.
What are some of your best selling items?
My best selling items to date are the Afro America Crewneck and The Leather Motherland cropped hoodie.
Anything else you’d like our readers to know?
If you have a dream, go for it! Pray diligently and everything will work out in God’s time. NEVER give up and to let go of anything that stifles your growth… I learned the hard way.
What’s in your handbag right now?
I literally just switched to a clutch because I was carrying an ikea sized shopping bag around with wayyy too much stuff inside. In my clutch is mascara, business cards, Reese’s peanut butter cups, and a cookie.
iphone, blackberry or android?
iPhone, please!
If you could travel to any location right now, where would it be?
I would go to Arnensee lake in Switzerland!
Favorite thing to do?
Create new things and eat cupcakes/donuts.
Guilty pleasure?
Still listening to B2K. I mean, it has to stop!
