Setting up a tailoring business in Nigeria

Product Description

Fashion has been from the beginning of man’s existence. Humans had to make clothes for themselves, so they used leaves and animal skin as the raw material for their garments. With these, they covered their nakedness and protected their bodies from harsh weather. However, in the early 1900s, synthetic fiber was produced through the cracking process in crude oil production.

With this new introduction of crude oil into the economy, fashion developed to the use of synthetic fiber for clothing material. Crude oil had many by-products beyond kerosene, aviation fuel, and more. Many fabrics emerged from the cracking of petroleum, like nylon and polyester.

The fashion industry in Nigeria plays an important role culturally and contributes to the economy of the country. Casual wear is commonly worn however, there are formal and traditional styles that are worn depending on the occasion.
