HISTORY
In 2016, Akua Theresa Gyamfuwaa founded a fashion blog but shifted her focus to sustainable and ethical clothing in 2018 due to the limited options available that were both trendy and culturally representative. She conducted extensive research and took online courses in fashion design, sustainability, and ethical fashion business to develop her knowledge. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, she managed to launch her first eco-collection, Mudua, in 2020. After moving to Barcelona in 2022, her brand gained traction, and she decided to focus on creating the most ethical, sustainable, and successful clothing brand that celebrates diversity, inclusivity, culture, and sustainability. During her research, she travelled to India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Nigeria to learn about the people, cultures, and various eco-friendly and natural methods of producing textiles and textile printing.

CUSTOM MADE
GLOBALLY GHETTO plans to use NFTs for pre-orders of custom-made clothing by creating unique digital assets for each order. Customers will be able to purchase an NFT that represents their specific clothing order and includes all the details of their custom design. This NFT will act as proof of ownership and authenticity of the order. Once the order is complete, customers will be able to redeem their NFT for their unique and personalized clothing item. By using NFTs, Globally Ghetto can create a transparent and secure pre-order system for custom-made clothing, while also leveraging the benefits of blockchain technology. This approach not only adds a layer of exclusivity to Globally Ghetto’s clothing, but also provides customers with a unique and innovative shopping experience. The clothing pieces will be delivered within 3 weeks after ordering.
2 COLLECTIONS
Globally Ghetto will use pre-order for their two collections a year to allow customers to purchase items before they are officially released. This allows customers to secure their desired products and sizes, and also helps GG to forecast demand and reduce overproduction. In addition, GG will use 3D rendering software such as Clo3d to create virtual models of the clothing, which will be used to familiarize customers with the designs and fit. This will give customers a better idea of how the clothing will look and fit on their body, and can help to reduce the rate of returns and exchanges. Overall, GG’s use of pre-order and 3D rendering technology aims to create a more sustainable and customer-friendly fashion industry. Our collections will focus on Spring/Summer, Autumn and Winter. We will produced a limited amount of clothing pieces every year.

MARKET ANALYSIS
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
In addition to offering affordable and trendy clothing options, Globally Ghetto aims to differentiate itself from its competitors by placing a strong emphasis on sustainability and social responsibility. As the demand for sustainable fashion continues to grow, Globally Ghetto’s unique approach to sustainability through the use of NFTs and plant waste in production could provide a competitive advantage in the market.
Furthermore, Globally Ghetto’s focus on cultural inclusion and unique business approach could also help the brand stand out in a crowded market. By offering limited-edition collections and custom-made options, the brand could attract customers who are looking for unique and exclusive clothing options.
It’s also worth noting that while the streetwear segment of the fashion industry is currently dominated by established players, there is still room for new and innovative brands to enter the market. By leveraging the growing demand for sustainable and socially responsible fashion, Globally Ghetto could carve out a unique niche for itself and attract a loyal customer base. However, the company will need to stay up-to-date with changing customer preferences and trends, as well as effectively scale production and supply chain management to ensure long-term success in the market.
MARKET SIZE
The sustainable fashion market has also been growing steadily in recent years, with increasing awareness and concern for environmental and social responsibility. The global sustainable fashion market size was valued at USD 9.81 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 15.17 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2021 to 2028. The growing demand for sustainable fashion is driven by various factors such as increased awareness about the environmental impact of the fashion industry, changing consumer preferences, and government initiatives promoting sustainable practices.
Globally Ghetto can capitalize on the growth potential of both the streetwear and sustainable fashion markets by targeting young adults who are interested in fashion and social responsibility. The company’s unique approach to sustainability through the use of NFTs and plant waste in production can differentiate it from competitors in the market. Globally Ghetto can also leverage its strong brand image and personality to establish a loyal customer base and expand its market presence.
To tackle the competition from established fashion brands with larger budgets and more resources, Globally Ghetto can focus on building its brand recognition through collaborations with other brands and influencers, as well as expanding its product line and marketing efforts. The company can also explore alternative distribution channels such as pop-up shops and its own e-commerce platform to reduce reliance on third-party marketplaces.
In addition, Globally Ghetto can take advantage of emerging technologies such as 3D and meta-verse to expand its offerings and reach new customers. The company can also align itself with the UN and EU’s push and promotion for sustainability to gain credibility and increase visibility in the market.

Globally Ghetto (GG) is a sustainable clothing brand focused on providing affordable, stylish, and environmentally-friendly clothing to young people. With the growing market demand for sustainable clothing, GG has the potential to generate significant revenue and profit. However, the profitability of the brand will depend on a number of factors, including production costs, marketing expenses, competition, and market demand.
Market demand for sustainable clothing has increased significantly in recent years, and GG aims to tap into this market by offering high-quality eco-friendly clothing at affordable prices. GG’s unique style and aesthetic inspired by global culture helps it stand out from competitors and increases its appeal to its target market.
Production costs can be a challenge for GG, as sustainable production practices can be more expensive than traditional methods. However, GG’s parent company Mudua Banana Republic plans to become an NGO, which would allow GG to buy textiles at almost no cost. This arrangement would help to reduce production costs and increase profitability for GG.
Marketing expenses are also a factor in GG’s profitability. The company must allocate sufficient resources to promote its products and reach its target audience through a strong online presence, social media, and partnerships and collaborations with other brands and celebrities. GG faces competition from other sustainable clothing brands such as Armedangels, Jan’n June, Avocado Store, and Lucy and Yak. It is important for GG to differentiate itself from these competitors and stand out in the market through a careful analysis of its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.
In conclusion, the profitability of GG will depend on several factors including market demand, production costs, marketing expenses, and competition. By carefully managing these factors and leveraging its partnerships with Mudua Banana Republic and other environmentally-conscious brands, GG has the potential to establish itself as a leading player in the sustainable clothing market and generate significant revenue and profit.
