With the ongoing debate on whether the Mitumba business is too saturated to accommodate new players, there is definitely a variety of clothes that customers will always be in need of.
Various cloth types do well in different locations based on different factors- for instance; investing in jackets in Limuru will be highly profitable because the place is cold, as opposed to having the same investment in a place like Mombasa, where the weather is warmer.
However, some of these cloth types will be on demand regardless;
Mixed blouses
Men official trousers
Ladies official outfit
Children jackets
Leggings (stockings) and Jeggings (heavy)
School bags
This is an ultimate guide that will give you an idea of how to start a mitumba business in Kenya. Playing your cards right in this business is a major plus to creating a successful mitumba business. Hard work and commitment are a must as this is no get-rich-quick scheme.
