In the busy streets of Kericho, where matatus honk relentlessly and traders peddle everything from fresh produce to second-hand clothes, one man stands out, a tall figure expertly exhibiting rows of vibrant bras hanging on strings in his modest stall.
Dan Nyalenda, the unlikely hero in a trade predominantly run by women, has a passion for selling a variety of bras, such as push-ups, wireless, sports bras, strapless, and bralettes, that attracts the attention of many.
Amid his hectic schedule, the 36-year-old entrepreneur took a moment to speak with KNA, sharing how he dedicates his time to helping customers sift through mountains of second-hand clothing to find the perfect fit, ensuring they leave with exactly what they need and sometimes, what they didn't even know they were looking for.
Nyalenda shared his passion for the lingerie business, noting that women are constantly on the lookout for high-quality, sensitive undergarments every day. "Lingerie refers to women's undergarments, particularly those that are made of delicate, luxurious fabrics like lace, silk, satin, or cotton and mostly associated with items that are designed to be visually appealing or sensual, although it also includes practical undergarments like bras, panties, camisoles, and shapewear, which I have a variety of here," he explained.
