"On the last day of the exhibition, there will be time for people to ask questions about what they need to know about the products,” said Thicien Niyigena, the founder of ARTHICIEN.

 "This fashion week will mainly focus on a different collection of sandals for kids and grownups. There is two types of sandals that will be exhibited for both kids and adults which they dubbed ‘Inyenyeri’ and ‘Izuba’ for adults and ‘Akanyenyeri’ and ‘Akazuba’ for kids,” he added.

For the clients who will be interested and willing to purchase the items on display will simply send a direct message and delivery will be made in order to facilitate their clients during this pandemic period.

Niyigena noted that organisers value and care a lot about the environment hence the event that encourages recycling all rubber and making different products out of it such as clothes, earrings, necklaces, shoes, and other products.

Organisers added that the event will be a yearly exposition and will be held in different ways (Online or physical) depending on the covid-19 situation in the coming years.
