The skirt was sitting in the hand-made paper bag, ready to be delivered to our customer.  "Wow! Is that skirt really going out of my precious collection?", I thought. Right from the fabric to the dangler, this skirt (like all the skirts) was designed with great care.... Days passed. The skirt was packed in the bags and traveled to the USA. I got a Facebook message from my customer, which went like this: "Lovely skirt!" What made this message more special was the photograph of the little girl adorning the skirt. She had a BIG smile on her face! It made my day! Another customer wanted to buy skirts for gifting. After a few days, she came back for more! She showed me a picture. That of the girl to whom she gifted the skirt. She was wearing it. Her expression was priceless! I was thrilled! One of my other customers did a very warm gesture for appreciation. Her daughter was wearing the skirt when she met me! It filled my heart with joy to see her running aro

The skirt story

A visit to a clothing store brought a wonderful write-up to my notice: .... SLOW UP! Break away from the break-neck pace, Uncomplicate. Untie. Unwind. Find time to find yourself. Breathe, dont just inhale. Feel, dont just touch. Find, dont just look. Live every second, dont just count them. Seek a real connection rather than a mere plug point. Slow up, because the earth took billion years to form. And you took nine months to come into being. Slow up, because the best things in life take their own sweet time. This really touched me. Kids really follow this. But do we? The clothing store, this write-up and kids brought a new inspiration for the upcoming line in band of bead - themed skirts from band of beads! Each fabric is hand-picked keeping a concept in mind. A concept, which will touch a part of the universe of your little girl! The skirt is accordingly designed and tailored. To add to the finishing, there is a hand-crafted bead accessory which can also be wor

Its a baby!

Yes, you got it right!  We have a baby, a new product! That explains our long break ;) But you've got to wait for the details! Need clues? Ok... here's one: "Its something which has a bead accessory. Something which is available in various lengths. And most importantly, its something which the girls love to wear!" Its been a wonderful journey.  The last year saw -  beads, beads and more beads! The beads have a world of their own! I am having every bit of fun sailing through it! This year is a new beginning! New ideas, new products bound by a common thread with beads! Watch this space for more!

Our first sale!

Primus Public School, Bangalore. As we reached the venue, it was pouring! "Done for the day", I thought. But the skies cleared and soon we started setting up our stall. While we were still setting up, a few students came curiously asking for the deals. And we were mostly sold out before even setting up! Loved the response of the students: "Did you make this? Wow!" "This is so cool!" "Do you have a store?" The store revived a lot of childhood memories. It was like a past re-lived!  Though the exhibition lasted hardly for 2 hours (thanks to the rains), it took me one day to get out of the exhibition! My mind kept flashing the sale of each and every jewelry item I made. A dream, live, re-lived. A beautiful feeling.
