KENYA 2018. Promoting Blue Fashion to support livelihoods

20 November 2018, Kitale, Kenya - Victorian Foods CEO James Ambani and Kenyan Fashion Designer Jamil Walji check and discuss about fish leather clothing and accessories at Victorian Foods Factory in Kitale. Jamil Walji uses fish skin from James' factory for his designs. Fish leather products are unique and extremely durable, while also being a far lighter material than cow leather. Victoria Foods employs more than 300 locals to fish the perch, which is then filleted and transported through cold storage to Kitale, where it is processed and shipped around the country and abroad either as fillets or leather products..©FAO/Luis Tato
