African fashion clothing, arts and craft. We carefully select items from
African fashion designers all over the world, giving Nigerians and Africans

WHO WE ARE
Page 1
Wear Culture started in August 2012 with three (3) creative individuals
coming together to create a platform for Nigerian fashion designers,
artists and craft makers to showcase their works to the world.
Our initial strategy was to provide a basic ecommerce site focusing on
clothing items sourced locally from the Nigerian retail market.
However, upon conducting further research into the market for
Afro-centric goods in Nigeria, we decided to expand the scope of the idea
into building an online market place where lovers of African fashion can
find and buy exquisite clothing made by designers from Africa.
Presently, we are in our launch year and would be rolling out services in the
3rd quarter of 2013.
REGISTRATION
The company is an offshoot of Helixcore Inc. Helixcore Inc. is a registered
company under the Nigerian Corporate Affairs Commission.

Establish relationships and partnerships with local and international
African designers in Nigeria, enabling easy access to African inspired
products and services both locally and internationally
Creating an collaborative platform where African fashion designers
can share ideas in sourcing fabrics and making pieces that are modern
and trendy, expanding the wearability of African pieces to formal, casual,

Page 4
MISSION..contd
In the first one (1) year, we aim to attract and retain about 100,000-250,000
customers worldwide, carve our niche while increasing our market share of
the online African inspired fashion, art and craft retail market and
consequently help African designers increase their sales figures through
the marketing of their products and the improvement and diversification of
our services.
Our aim is to make it easier for the savvy lovers of African fashion to access
clothing, accessories, art and craft from premium fashion brands all over
the world. This we will do by enabling relationships with manufacturers and
retailers of these brands and establishing sourcing links. With regular
upgrades, our website will improve customer experience, making it easier for
customers to view and purchase items. We have a team working on the
website usability and functionality to increase its ease of use and product
identification.
Ultimately, we look forward to becoming the most engaging and
customer-centric outfit in our category.

VALUES
Page 7
Our business at Wear Culture involves establishing relationships and
partnerships with African designers, working with them to showcase their
works on our platform ranging from clothing, shoes, bags, art and prints,
to the international market, right where people who want them the most
can see them.
The Wear Culture team is characterized by the kind of diversity that is
essential to crafting successful strategies for brands and their customers.
We are located in Nigeria, the most fashion-centric country in Africa with a
large customer base of buyers looking to make the right fashion purchases.
Our vision is to create a progressive lifestyle online store inspired by African
designs and prints, a first of its kind in Nigeria.
OUR BUSI NESS
Page 8
Wear Culture will carry Ready-to-Wear (RTW) premium clothing, bags, shoes,
accessories, art and print from African designers. We intend to start with
ten (10) main African fashion brands which would include
Liz Ogumbo (South African), Kelechi Odu (Nigerian),
Mememe (South African boutique) and The Grey (Nigerian), and
Asakeoge (Nigerian). Wear Culture will also carry designer fashion
accessories such as watches, perfume, handbags, scarves and wardrobe
accessories from a famous premium fashion and luxury brands.
PRODUCTS & SERVICES
Page 9
In addition to our ecommerce store, we also hope to help customers define
their sense of dressing and identify African inspired clothing that would suit
their personality by providing style assessment services along with tips on
what clothing works well for his/her style personality. There would normally
be a small fee for the assessment, but customers are able to take the Style
Assessment for free at our Style Studio when they make cumulative purchases
of N20,000 – N30,000. After each customer completes the quiz in the studio
section of the store, he/she will receive a laminated Wear Culture wallet card
to carry around as a shopping reminder that lists his/her style personality type,
style words, style icons and clothing styles appropriate for him/her.
PERSONALITY STYLE
ASSESSMENT
Page 10
We start out by working with African designers to explore the collections of
their works they would be willing to market through our platform.
The range of items we hope to catalog on our site include
clothing (men’s, women’s and kids), bags, shoes, jewelry, art, prints etc.
Based on the seasonal collections of clothing from designers,
we curate pieces from designer collections featuring them on our site while,
helping our partner designers expand their reach to customers worldwide
and grow their purchase numbers by the sales of their products through
our platform.
Our stocking strategy comes in two phases. Initially, we intend to start by
offering drop shipping services from our partners to our customers.
Here we create and develop photos of the items to be featured on
Wear Culture and bring them on-to our platform. We then work with our
partners in marketing their products by showcasing their products on our
homepage and engaging in other marketing strategies which would involve
social and web marketing techniques in raising the awareness level of specific
brand products on our platform.
As our business grows and we expand our operations, we intend to
commence physical stocking of items from our partners, assuming more
responsibility of the products to be shipped to our customer.
PARTNERSHIP
Page 11
In developing our platform, we have integrated a number of payment
gateway systems to allow us process money payment from all available
credit/debit card providers. This would include VISA, MasterCard and Paypal.
We believe that with customers allowed to make payments via these three (3)
channels, we would be able to ensure shoppers can use and make payment
on our site from any location in the world.
We also intend to work with our partners in devising a formula for sales
profits sharing. This sharing formula would be based on a per-item basis
which would be structured to be favorable to all parties involved (this would
depend on two cost structures; profit from price difference in wholesale and
retail prices or an agreed percentage of the sales in commission).
PAYMENT & SHIPPING
More
Page 12
Payments would be remitted to our partners on an agreed schedule while
we also work with them to ensure items are shipped out to buyer locations
in a timely manner. With respect to shipping of products from our partners
to us or to our customers directly, in cities where Wear Culture has established
shipping partners (eg. the USA to Nigeria), we would make use of such agencies.
In other cities where we don’t, we would work with our partners in finding the
most efficient and cost efective means of shippings these items.
The necessary shipping processes, costs and delivery times would have to be
determined before products would be featured on the site so respective costs
can be reflected in the checkout pages of the shopping cart to enable buyers
know the total costs of procuring items on the platform and make informed
decisions.
PAYMENT & SHIPPING...contd
Page 13
Our fashion blog would be frequently updated with posts featuring the
following details:
Featured Designer
This will showcase profiles of the brands and the creatives behind the brands
we would be carrying at Wear Culture. Through this, customers can get
exclusive introduction to the brands and the design process and creativity
the designers employ in giving birth to their ideas and pieces they make
How to Wear
This will provide a fun and educative platform, showing customers how to
wear African designs (how to wear a particular item for work, weekend and
going out) and combine these clothes to get the right look for their
personalities
Coming Soon
This will feature items coming into the store soon
Services
This will list all the additional style services that Wear Culture offers
FULL & SELF SERVICE
Page 14
At Wear Culture, we believe in bringing the best service to our customers.
Our sales associates are always on call and are available to assist customers
with their Style Assessments, wardrobe planning, special orders and
personal shopping. Our online store is strategically designed to enable
customers forge relationships with the brands we carry,
allowing customers to “follow” brands that they love.

  • 11. In addition to our ecommerce store, we also hope to help customers define their sense of dressing and identify African inspired clothing that would suit their personality by providing style assessment services along with tips on what clothing works well for his/her style personality. There would normally be a small fee for the assessment, but customers are able to take the Style Assessment for free at our Style Studio when they make cumulative purchases of N20,000 – N30,000. After each customer completes the quiz in the studio section of the store, he/she will receive a laminated Wear Culture wallet card to carry around as a shopping reminder that lists his/her style personality type, style words, style icons and clothing styles appropriate for him/her. PERSONALITY STYLE ASSESSMENT Page 10
  • 12. We start out by working with African designers to explore the collections of their works they would be willing to market through our platform. The range of items we hope to catalog on our site include clothing (men’s, women’s and kids), bags, shoes, jewelry, art, prints etc. Based on the seasonal collections of clothing from designers, we curate pieces from designer collections featuring them on our site while, helping our partner designers expand their reach to customers worldwide and grow their purchase numbers by the sales of their products through our platform. Our stocking strategy comes in two phases. Initially, we intend to start by offering drop shipping services from our partners to our customers. Here we create and develop photos of the items to be featured on Wear Culture and bring them on-to our platform. We then work with our partners in marketing their products by showcasing their products on our homepage and engaging in other marketing strategies which would involve social and web marketing techniques in raising the awareness level of specific brand products on our platform. As our business grows and we expand our operations, we intend to commence physical stocking of items from our partners, assuming more responsibility of the products to be shipped to our customer. PARTNERSHIP Page 11
  • 13. In developing our platform, we have integrated a number of payment gateway systems to allow us process money payment from all available credit/debit card providers. This would include VISA, MasterCard and Paypal. We believe that with customers allowed to make payments via these three (3) channels, we would be able to ensure shoppers can use and make payment on our site from any location in the world. We also intend to work with our partners in devising a formula for sales profits sharing. This sharing formula would be based on a per-item basis which would be structured to be favorable to all parties involved (this would depend on two cost structures; profit from price difference in wholesale and retail prices or an agreed percentage of the sales in commission). PAYMENT & SHIPPING More Page 12
  • 14. Payments would be remitted to our partners on an agreed schedule while we also work with them to ensure items are shipped out to buyer locations in a timely manner. With respect to shipping of products from our partners to us or to our customers directly, in cities where Wear Culture has established shipping partners (eg. the USA to Nigeria), we would make use of such agencies. In other cities where we don’t, we would work with our partners in finding the most efficient and cost efective means of shippings these items. The necessary shipping processes, costs and delivery times would have to be determined before products would be featured on the site so respective costs can be reflected in the checkout pages of the shopping cart to enable buyers know the total costs of procuring items on the platform and make informed decisions.
