ABOUT OSCAR INTERNATIONAL
1993
The Begining (Hong Kong)
Andrew started his carrier as a sales personal with a Hong Kong based company in the year 1990 at the age of 18. The job was alright, but he wasn’t passionate about it. He always held a passion for fashion which inspired him to start his own suit tailoring business at Hong Kong in 1992. While it took some time to find a niche, the business began to grow within a year of operation.

A year into business was enough for Andrew to realise the potential of his product beyond the neibhourhood of Hong Kong and take his first step towards expanding it globally. With that vision, the sales and marketing teams started their operations in Zimbabwe.
