Become a Kipfashion Distributor of African Clothing and Accessories

Bring authentic, handcrafted African fashion to your market with exclusive rights to your territory. Kipfashion distributors buy men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing, accessories, and fabrics made by artisans in Benin and Nigeria, and sell them through their own online store, retail shop, or events. As demand for African prints and traditional styles grows worldwide, a distribution partnership gives you a steady supply of products that your customers cannot find everywhere.
