Authentic 31
By Coco
Ama Fruity Fruit, A nick name I was given by the Goddess Jabu Dunn and Mpho Mokotedi of Authentic 31, a newly opened store at Fashion Kapitol, but before I continue with the story.. I had asked Mama D to send me a pic of my bank card which I forgot at home, so while I was at work she sent it.. only to find when I got home, the card which was in my pockets with my ID and voting slip and so - were put in the washing machine. I get home and everything was turned into mush.. oh and the memory stick my boss had said I should print some documents from.. all gone.
But lets continue with the story kids
Anyway I popped in to interview the ladies,
Where does the brand's name come from (what inspired it) Coco man asked
Mpho Mokotedi to which she replied..
" It was born (the idea of the store) on my 31st birthday I couldn't find clothes that fit exactly.."
which is annoying how many of you girls out struggle with that?
For those who don't know Fashion Kapitol is a hidden haven within Johannesburg CBD
Why Fashion Kapitol?
"I looked for a central place and everyone knows Fashion Kapitol, it is central to everything the fashion school down, the road material stores as well."
When do you plan on opening a men's line?
"Soon..watch the space"
(tjerr, need to find a nice way to get people to give me the candy maan)
What challenges did you come across?
"Funding, which despite the government funding being given out it doesn't always reach you in time."
I then spoke to the Face of the brand Jabu Dunn
(The Hottest lady ever!)
Coco man asked
What's it like being the face of the brand and working at Aurthentic?
"Its nice.. better than sex..."
That is probably the most powerful answer I've ever been given.
Do you have a particular item you like the most?
