Hajia Ochuwa c.e.o hijabs Nigeria

Do you design these hijabs yourself?
Hajia Ochuwa: Yeah, most of them are my designs and
I also ship in some of them.

What motivated you into designing and selling of hijabs?
Hajia Ochuwa: Yes! I always liked scarfs with prints..I found that hard to get except with the pashmina which I didn't like. And I found out that making them couldn't be so hard so why not. I made some for myself and people liked them. And I said ok...business..here we go. So I started making in bulk..I got nice compliments and it just took off from there.

For how long have you been into the business
and how has it been ?
Hajia Ochuwa:I started in April 2014. And it has been great so far.
I have a large customer base even though it can be better..
So yea. Alhamdulillah

Are your customers edo based only or from all over Nigeria?

Hajia Ochuwa: Not just Edo. Because its an online business platform for now, I have customers from different states.

Waoh! So how do u reach each and

every one of them?

Hajia Ochuwa: Delivery to different states is pretty easy now,

thank God for DHL and the likes..even waybills. Makes my job a whole lot easy

Can you please tell us the hazards or

challenges you face?

Hajia Ochuwa: Well, for me..I would say the only challenge is some people wanting to see what they would like to buy live...not everyone is really trusting online business because of the scam these days...it takes patience though. Other than that, i would say Alhamdulillah

Alhamdulilah, so what are your price ranges?

Hajia Ochuwa: From 700-2000

Teepha scarves

Can you share with us your fashion sense and style?

But my fashion sense is pretty conservative..I don't know how to mix so many colours into one outfit. Pretty simple fashion sense. Lol

Barakallahu feeh, so tell us where and how you see yourself
