In Benin, entrepreneurship in the fashion and textile sector is booming. This renewed interest is believed to be the outcome of the support of the political authorities and the population for the consumption of local products in recent years.
With this in mind, the designer Elvira AKPLOGAN decided to create her brand, LOAN-H. The aim she says "is to bring a modern touch to Kanvo, the woven fabric of Benin".
"People have now understood that the woven fabric is a sought-after material, an exploitable material and we are working to make our woven fabric, the Loan-h woven fabric, more flexible, more manageable and easy to use in everyday life" Akpologan said.
