The Indian Sparrow

Sonali, a fashion designer by profession with her international experience with Ralph Lauren and working as a merchandiser and head of embroidery design with designer Azeem Khan, began her own venture called The Indian Sparrow. TheIndian Sparrow based in Pune, has a wide product range like hand-looms, lacquer ware, handcrafted leather, hand-spun and hand-woven scarves and stoles and earthen ware. Sonali openly shares with us on how this venture turned out to be a living testimony of God’s Love.

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… “
