Author : Bhut Malumz BLVCK045 LOGO After almost a year of serving the community, Ayabulela Abs Fatuse might take a break from BLVCK045 Clothing Brand. The saddest part is that he might even stop operations for business. Fatuse stands as that guy with the successful running clothing brand in Queenstown currently. Having been a trendsetter, he extended his abilities to deliver food for people who work from home or possibly for unforseen circumstances can't go to town and get their meals. His success has been a motivation for many to create brands of their own, want to be brand ambassadors and promoters. According to his hard work, he's the one not to compare as he's the big dog like his logo and let's nothing ruins his reputation. As young as he is, he gets tired too because this pandemic time had him not sleeping a wink because of massive amount of orders and delays from the suppliers. He recently released Durags and Beanies under his brand that might affect his sales if
