Mitumba Tops Sourcing from Gikomba
by Shiko Wa Gerald Errand Runner
I handle mitumba tops sourcing from Gikomba so clients get Grade A pieces without the market hassle. I do the early morning kufagia runs, sort through bales, and select clean, sellable tops that match the client’s niche and target market, whether it’s campus wear, official, plus-size, or kids. Current offer is tops at 30bob per piece, minimum 50pcs @ 2280. I check each piece for stains, tears, and style relevance, th
en send real-time photos and videos for approval before purchase so there’s no blind bale risk. Beyond buying, I manage the full process: covering transport and logistics from the market, sorting, counting, packaging, and organizing delivery within Nairobi or to couriers for out-of-town clients. I factor in the real business costs clients face like rent, time, energy, and errands so they can price their stock competitively without overpricing or underpricing. The goal is to give clients Gikomba-level prices and first-pick quality while saving them time, bus fare, and the risk of bad stock, helping them restock fast-moving tops and keep healthy margins.
