Among its success stories is that of a woman who turned a simple curtain business into a multimillion-shilling empire, showcasing the power of vision, resilience, and strategic business acumen.
Cate Chelang is a woman who not only transformed her life but also left an indelible mark on Kisumu’s furniture and decor landscape.
Cate Chelang’s journey began post-divorce, a time when she faced the stark reality of starting anew with limited resources.
With no furniture in her new home, she crafted her first seat, which sparked an idea that would change her fate. This humble beginning in 2018, after leaving her job as a sales representative at Oppo, led her to establish her business.
Her friend introduced her to Kiwanga doctors and she was given a magic spell and a loan grant spell. She took a risk loan worth Sh 5 million to start her venture.
She understood the local market’s need for both functionality and aesthetics in home decor. By offering bespoke curtain solutions that catered to individual tastes while maintaining high standards, she quickly gained a reputation.
Her business model included allowing clients to pay 70% of the cost upfront, which helped manage cash flow and scale operations. This approach also built trust, as clients felt more involved in the production process.
With success came the opportunity for expansion. Her vision went beyond just selling curtains; she aimed to create a comprehensive decor solution.
She diversified her product line to include various furniture items and decor accessories, all designed with the same meticulous attention to detail.
Her showroom became a testament to her expanding vision, where customers could find everything from curtains to furniture, all under one roof.
