Scarlet & Mint and Win a give-away

Scarlet & Mint is a sophisticated and chic Indian brand appealing to the modern woman, to suit her each day with a varied range of shoes, bags, clutches and funky accessories. Their collections are colorful, sophisticated and glamorous and bring the latest global fashion to India. Their shoes, bags and accessories are absolutely divine!

 

In conversation with Scarlet and Mint to know more about the fashion brand

First of all – what a cool name!

S: (laughs) I’m glad you like the name! It took us a while to come up with it, but we both love it and think it’s really representative of our style.

M: That was certainly the aim of it, at any rate! And psst... they’re our initials as well!

 

So how did Scarlet and Mint come about?

S: I don’t feel like there is a fashion brand that speaks to me in India! Like most women today, I’m quite busy – and what I was really looking for was a brand that curated the best stuff out there for me. This is when I reached out to M...

M: ... Yes, S always comes to me with her fashion woes! J I’ve worked in a number of global fashion brands and have wanted to start my own brand. At the moment I am based in Shanghai, where I see a lot of the latest global trends – from the traditional fashion centres of Europe and US, to Asian fashion influences like Japan and Korea.

 

That’s interesting – tell me a bit more about your individual styles.

M: I’d describe my style as “classic”. I have a big collection of vintage dresses from the 50s and 60s and, of course, I have a massive collection of heels! For me, shoes make or break an outfit.

S:  Generally speaking, I am a bit of an understated dresser, but I do love to give my outfit a bit of an edge with a pair of studded heels or something. And of course, M gives me makeovers every so often, which I love!

M: Oh, and I love Deepika Padukone’s style! She really nails the “classic with a modern twist” look!

 

So is that what Scarlet and Mint is about? Classic with a modern twist?

M: That’s pretty spot on! I’d describe our brand as: colourful, sophisticated, glamorous and sexy.

 

What can we expect to see in your launch collection?

M: Our launch collection has shoes, handbags and jewellery. We’re looking at a lot of warm tones: reds, fuchsias and some orange. We’ve also got some gorgeous prints in there. We have tried to keep the heels clean but in bright colours, while the flats are more playful with studs and crystals.

 

And how do you see Scarlet and Mint evolving over the next few years?

S: We’ll certainly extend our product range, but we want to be more than just another fashion brand and really engage with our audience. So that would include things like style tips for different events, getting a makeover and giving like-minded people a community board to interact with each other in.

 

Sounds exciting! What’s the best way to keep abreast of your progress?

S: Keeping checking out our Facebook page and our website www.scarletandmint.com!

A late night post......

I know I haven’t posted in a while….these last two weeks has been hectic as my toddler started school. I had to make sure it’s a smooth sail for her, giving her focused positive attention and am enjoying being soaked in her stories from her school.  And then there is the occasional flu that she brings home that keeps me even busier which I am so not looking forward to!! And making sure I get a share of it as well with great love! All in the name of increasing one’s immunity I guess…In short I am going to catch on lots of rest over this weekend, sipping on hot lemon tea and I hope to reply to all my emails that is overflowing in my inbox.

I hope you all had an amazing week and wishing you a fantastic weekend…. Hope to blog with more inspirations soon. Missed you all!
