I am thrilled to welcome Vivo Woman US to Atlantic Station, Atlanta, GA. This vibrant shop offers colorful, high-quality clothing at reasonable prices. But the highlight for me is that it's a Kenyan shop in the US selling authentic African quality clothing for women.
About the company: Vivo is a black woman-founded apparel brand that champions size-inclusive, high-quality fashion at an affordable price. Founded by Wandia Gichuru and Anne Marie Burugu in 2011, Vivo has grown to become East Africaâs largest ladies' fashion brand, designing and manufacturing 100% on the African continent.
Vivo's mission statement is powerful: "To create economic opportunities in Africa through fashion." Their vision is "to see Africa Dressing the World," aiming to inspire a generation of African fashion entrepreneurs.
A standout aspect from their mission statement is their impact: "We currently have 24 retail stores across East Africa and over 360 employees, of which over 70% are women." It's crucial to create opportunities for African women to thrive and make significant contributions to their communities.
I am a staunch supporter of companies that promote the betterment and empowerment of women, helping them to create and lead fulfilling lives.
If you ever find yourself in Atlantic Station, please make a point to visit Vivo and purchase something crafted in Kenya with the utmost quality. Itâs unfortunate they didnât have T-shirts for men, as I live in them. I am proud of Kenya, and proud to call myself Kenyan when I witness such achievements. Letâs continue to build the world the Vivo...

The quality of clothing way surpassed the prices. I spent a lot of time looking at a lot of different pieces, and they were all really well made. The accessories were beautiful, so I had to pick up a purse but could've easily snagged a lot more. The ambiance of music was not overwhelming but perfect and made this store really enjoyable. I'm impressed with the quality and wish there was something like this in my hometown. The staff also were super nice and gracious. They only approached if asked, and I somewhat appreciated that but wouldn't have minded either way. When I go back to Atlanta, I'll definitely be visiting here again and be sure to buy some high-quality clothes that will probably last me a very long time. This store is excellent and the clothes are sharp, elegant, modern, and for all...
