Dumelang Batswana betsho.
Wow! We have finally gone live, after several months of hard work and sweat, to bring to you, your very first Botswana online clothing store! What a long way we have come as a country in so many ways. On the fashion front, we have made quite a leap: from the days when my father used to get his clothes and shoes from Kays Mail Order catalogue, (I know, there are some of you who are super young and I’m quite sure I have lost you here, but for others a trip down memory lane. Whatever the case is just indulge me for a moment) to the days of front store general dealers where you had to step over a wheelbarrow and a size 10 three-legged cast iron pot to get to that lovely crimplene (AKA) wash-and-wear (a heavier version of polyester)- yeah, even my spellchecker didn't know this one.
To the days of shopping trips to Mmabatho and Jozi. Then back to our beloved Botswana as malls started popping up everywhere around you in Gabs. While some ventured out abroad to Europe, the US then Asia in search of those ever so illusive trends. The good deals seemed to be getting further and further away again. Well today, today I say no more travelling for fashion deals. We bring the deals to your finger tips: on your keyboard, on your smart devise. Literally-"let your fingers do the shopping" and let the deals come to your front door! Save all that time to enjoy with family and friends. Shop, without leaving the comfort of your home or office.So here’s our promise to you. Your premier online store, My Okavango Shop, will flow like the mighty Okavango, with styles and fashion and deals. We will nourish your desire for trendy authentic styles. We promise that the products we bring to you are each individually inspected and handled with loving care so they arrive at your doorstep in pristine condition. That is our promise. So til next time, happy e-shopping.
