Seventh Stores: From near bankruptcy to international phenomenon Designer to Designer

    • Business

Seventh Stores is a two year old brand that has really been eleven years in the making. Bukki Ojo, founder of Seventh Stores, began her entrepreneurial journey at the tender age of 18 after college as a sales assistant in then Topshop Oxford Street.

No one could prepare Bukki for the blessings and pain she was to endure over the next decade.

Before Seventh Stores, Bukki ran two businesses where she had the opportunity to learn the business of fashion, putting her in an advantageous position to build Seventh Stores quickly.

However, she faced much rejection and financial pressure that nearly made her file for bankruptcy. In the midst of it all, her mother, who was also Bukki’s best friend, passed away. But not without equipping her daughter with the mindset and tools for success.



We discuss:


The origin of Seventh Stores
How faith has played a huge role in Bukki's life
The tough challenges Bukki has pushed through in business
The key to designing and building a legacy brand 
How to prepare for wholesale 
Advice for the next generation of designers
