In an interview with YEN.com.gh, Denise shared her inspiration for starting the shoe company, stating:

Also, my dad loves slippers a lot and usually gave his own designs to shoemakers to produce what he wanted, which was also something I liked and began to take an interest in”.

Despite facing economic challenges, Denise proudly stated that her company has experienced robust sales growth over the span of nearly a year, all while maintaining stable product prices.
