Wandid Amini Korimbo

Her interest in designing started since her primary school days.

She was geared more to her love for clothes and colors.

In 2016, she tried out the Stella runway – first ever runway she showcased her designs on.

“I was actually shocked when Jacks of PNG approached me because it was only my first time,” she said.

She has launched her brand Niugini Native at the outlet in Port Moresby.

Prior to that, Korimbo had been designing as well for Glow Boutique and her corporate clients.

The shop at Waigani Central today launched the Niugini Native brand by Wandid Amini Korimbo.

Korimbo is the second local designer whose collection is promoted and sold exclusively in Jack’s of PNG.

That is the initial intention of Jack’s, said Yogesh Sammy, Manager for Corporate Business.

“We said to launch local products and want people to buy more local products. We want to focus on exposing one designer at a time,” he said.
