Our Origin

Elite Garment Distro emerged from a desire to bridge the gap between luxury brands and global markets. Recognizing the potential to provide impoverished nations with designer brands they might otherwise not access, we envisioned a platform that would redefine the export apparel industry.

Challenges of Motherhood and Entrepreneurship

Time Mangement: Balancing the demands of motherhood with those of running a business can be overwhelming. Effective time management becomes crucial to ensure both areas of your life receive the attention they require.

 

“In order to balance being a successful entrepreneur and being a mother I always make sure to reserve time for both without overworking myself. I have learned to put family first, and always prioritize my time with my kids and ensure I have time dedicated to my business.”
