This applies to all you money [even if you are self employed]. Warren Buffet is a student of this philosophy and it has done him good! If living in a rented fourth floor apartment in Kileleshwa is YOUR self actualization, well and good. You can spend your money on whatever - however! My 2 Zim cents + VAT. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

The Donholm guy has been conning you.

Cost me 4k then, will try find that guy.
O'wise hapa mjini, I lost hope in looking for "Genuine Leather" if at all that exists.
KR, Got a nice pair of these Ethiopian shoes...shida ni kupata size kubwa!!!

At a place i was working a long time ago, we got a pair from some place in Adams, me thinks it must be this guy because they were handcrafted. whatever they use i have no idea because i still have my pair to this day.... of course it is a weird color but works well with Khakis in shags when it's rained!...

Mtush is not for everyone, one needs a keen eye for fashion and good taste to appreciate the quality thats available at Gikosh, ngara and other Mitumba selling points. Especially for shoes, I will go to mtush and get quality equivalent to stuff sold at the very high end shopping locations. 13K mtush shoes is equivalent to 30K new shoes.

Well I went to ethiopia recently but couldn't get any shoes, wih local friends who took me around. I saw nice belts though but could not fit me(am size 40) The only time you should be looking down on others is when you are helping them up.

I think they are not meant for their Market, just like the stuff from our EPZ goes out to UK/US markets. So they get their way into Kenya.but not through the correct business channel. KR,
