Hey. I’m in Italy. I took myself on my first business trip to attend the Mido Expo. This is an eyewear expo, trade fair, and conference. This was also my first time in Italy. I came to learn and explore because I’m interested in expanding Bandele Muse products with eyewear frames plus producing eyewear or accents in Africa or the global south. I’m really grateful for this experience. Let me know your thoughts. Share with me in the comments.
