The brand's founder, Tinotenda Matayi, recently celebrated a major milestone with the grand opening of a new shop at Long Chen Plaza. This achievement marks the culmination of years of dedication and perseverance in the face of adversity.
A Journey Forged in Resilience
Matayi's story is one of overcoming significant challenges. In 2018, at the young age of 17, he found himself facing the harsh realities of independence after losing his mother and with both sisters living abroad. This difficult period became the catalyst for Hatipere. The word "Hatiperi" served more than just a brand name; it became a mantra, a daily source of strength and a powerful prayer that fueled Matayi's determination.From College Dorm to Local Star: Building a Brand from Scratch
Despite financial constraints and the emotional toll of his loss, Matayi refused to give up. With unwavering determination, he saved $50 to order his first batch of apparel from China, emblazoned with a unique infinity logo designed by a local friend. |
