I agree that the Jamhuri guy has no talent whatsoever…just marketing. On the other hand i must give credit where its due…checked out the Azma Clothing website and i must admit there is something there….the Shujaa design is my favourite! I like the KLFA integration into the design, KENYA LAND FEDERATION ARMY…how many of you know about KLFA? that’s some truly kenyan stuff!

Hi James. Checked out Azma clothing and i must say, beautiful designs. Original and eye catching. Love the Shujaa and binti shirts. Good job.

That’s sooo true Tony…..in terms of marketing and connections…he has it.
When it comes to creativity and originality i wouldn’t give it to him.
Came across this site that seems to have some thing to offer.

jamhuri wear designs are not authentic. His Kimathi and mandela designs are plagerized. The guy has no talent whatsoever. He is a great at marketing but thats about all. Over priced crap!! Lets see you design something original and not copy other peoples creativity. Shame!

That's not true. I'm Nigerian, and I own Barcelagos.com which is an online Nigerian-inspired t-shirt line. It's built on the same platform as African Tees, and I started and launched my t-shirt line long before African Tees in November 2007. Barcelagos Clothing Co.

Lovely shirts & designs & implementation by David – only the low margins on spreadshirt due to high costs have always kept me away from ordering a shirt.
Erik, you were once also active in this industry, ama?

The idea in it’s simplicity it absolutely brilliant! The project would be a great boost towards promoting African wear and tourism.
