Here is what Sonali had to share.... over to you Sonali...
“It began out of a broken life! Had
a break for quite sometime... Well life threw a few curve balls at me....where
I was just trying to find myself! But God has been faithful… God has truly
raised me and strengthened me through His grace and love and blessed me with
the desires of my heart...and thats The Indian Sparrow...a living testimony of
His love.
I
launched The Indian Sparrow in October 2012.... Right from planning to
participate in Kitsch Mandi, a flea market, that happened for the first time in
Pune....to the sourcing, the label design, the printed labels....in 2 and a
half weeks time....was all ready by 28th Oct, the day of the exhibition! Since
then I began exploring my little space in this whole Fashion drama! My heart
has always cherished the stories that hands create...be it hand-looms or
embroidery or any other path...
My
inspiration....indeed my homeland...Untamed India...who has shaped up her
heritage over the ages...and whose stories we still hear, embrace and thrive on
:)... The Indian Sparrow was just dropped in my spirit by God...a name perfect
for the unassuming handcrafted stories of India...with an eternal sky to
explore… “
