FORMER Big Brother Africa (BBA) housemate Pokello Nare has launched her shoe line - Pokello Pink Bottoms in Botswana.
The shoe line was launched at Materialgirlz, an up-market store in Phakalane last Saturday.
Storeowner, Charity Baaitse said she decided to have Pokello's shoe line because of its uniqueness. She said Pink Bottoms shoes were now the ''in thing'' and are a must-have for every girl/woman.
"Pink Bottoms shoes have become quite popular, they've become a must have in every girl's wardrobe," Baaitse said.
"The question would now be, why Pokello's Pink Bottoms. Well, she's a force to reckon with, almost every woman in Africa adores her and her style.
"Plus the shoes are really comfortable and affordable. She's put a lot of hard work and sweat in her brand and we only wanted to be associated with such," Baaitse said.
Notably the shoes were named after fellow Big Brother housemates including Botswana's representative Motamma with the shoe line MotammaMalt. Others include Tanzania's Feza called Kessymint and Namibia's Dillish — DilishgoldDust.
About the store, Materialgirlz, Baaitse said that she offers a wide range of fashion garments, which cater for both the plus size women, expecting mothers as well as for the young funky girls.
"There is a corner for every single woman here, whether you are a plus size, expecting or the corporate look, there is everything for everyone," she said.
The store is located at the Mowana Park in Phakalane.
Earlier this year, Pokello launched her shoes in Zambia. Fashion Latte is the official distributor there.
