In Ireland there are only a handful of fitness clothing brands, and they all lack distinction besides their names/logos. Shakolo will be the pioneering fitness brand in Ireland. We will offer 3 length options (petite, regular, and tall), and unique designs (African fabric patterns) which will be incorporated in our fabrics while maintaining a modern & fresh styling. Lastly, our business will be a sustainable company. All fabrics used will be environmentally friendly, packages will be either biodegradable or recyclable, and our suppliers will practice a sustainable lifestyle. Providing our customers stylish, unique, and high quality products that not only looks and feels good, but is doing good. Starting off as a women’s fitness brand, we will expand to offer men’s wear for bodybuilders as there is a huge gap in the market. Once we have grown as a company, we will open the first fitness apparel manufacturing mill in Liberia. As the owner, born in Liberia and 54.1% of the population living below the poverty line (“Liberia Population below poverty line - Economy,” 2020) the mill will help provide work for so many and will help the economy immensely.
