About this listen
This episode of Raw Fashion takes a deep dive into the history of mtumba in Kenya and how second-hand clothing transformed the local fashion industry. From its introduction through global trade to its impact on Kenyan textile companies like Rivertex, we unpack how affordability, policy, and globalization reshaped production, employment, and style. The episode opens with a cultural touch — learning Japanese words for everyday clothing — before connecting global fashion systems to Kenya’s past, present, and future.
