RE: Congratulations LVMH nomination — Textile Connection

First and foremost — congratulations to you for being shortlisted for the LVMH prize. It’s a major achievement that we are sure will push you to higher heights.
At Walls of Benin we believe in collaboration not competition and support the success of our growing niche of this very large, global industry and everybody in it.
In your recent Vogue article, which I read with interest, one thing that caught my eye was your struggle to procure good fabric (in sufficient supply) This is a challenge that we anticipated, and hence invested time in building relationships with fabric printers and suppliers (mainly) in Italy and Portugal.

We are preparing to make out first shipment to the continent for production. In the very near future we plan to supply promising African brands such as yourself.

If we can ever be helpful — please let me know

Yours Sincerely

CK. Atanga
