On Dec 18th last year, Wan Fam clothing on Mpasho News as one of the best fashion brands in Kenya. The team has gone a step further to prove that they're more than just your local fashion house; that they're destined for greater heights.

"We dedicate this to our customers. Most of our sales have been through word of mouth. The feature has gotten our social media super-active and the calls we've been getting have trippled," says Jeff Wanjala, the CEO of Wan Fam clothing.

He says that the impact has been great since if you appear on CNN your credibility is validated. He and his brother Emmanuel Wanjala have worked with top Kenyan celebrities like Pinky Ghelani, Amina Abdi, Kantai, Collo King wa Rap, Dj Nruff, Miss Kenya USA 2010/2011 Angela Wambui, among others for their growth.

"Our dominant fabric is usually the Maasai shuka. It's ideal because it has like a signature for Africa - you can just see it and notice that this is our brand", he told CNN on the their feature on Africa Start Up. So, how has the brand managed to remain sustainable?

"The demand for local products has actually gone up. People are trying to get more African products, so that means it is actually a big market for local designers," he said. tells me that the major problem That they're facing right now is finding a way to export their designs to countries abroad.

Currently, the customers ordering from let's say Japan may end up paying a price 3 times more that what they have set in Kenya.
