About me / About business or organisation:
, soleRebels is the FIRST ethiopian IFAT Fair Trade footwear firm and one of the only ones globally.
The over-arching business is called bostex plc, which stands for “ By Ourselves textiles”- a nod to the fact that the company makes most of its inputs BY ITSELF AND BY HAND . soleRebels is the company’s core brand and focuses on footwear, apparel and accessories. The brand is now stocked by many leading retailers including on Endless, Amazon, Urban Outfitters, and Whole Foods and among many other leading web retailers !
Career history / Company history:
Less than four years ago there were hardly any jobs in the founders community . But now soleRebels have given over 40 people full-time dignified well paying work and a further 100 part-time jobs . and this is just the beginning as the company is now in serious expansion mode , creating stunning and stylish footwear AND generating ever more jobs for their neighbors and community folks!
