Aprajita promptly tells us, “Being the pioneer in giving sneakers an Indian flavor with hand embroidery, I have seen the trend evolve and become a rage in the last year or two. Vent & Wanderlust were two collections that brought the idea of mixing comfort with tradition to life and gave much needed relief to the feet of the traditional Indian bride. “
She further adds, “In a way, the perfect pair of sneakers for the bride who is proud of her heritage and is ready to embark on a new journey with zest carrying into a new world the roots of her evolution are ones with traditional Indian embroidery. It is traditional and simple yet edgy and bold, the perfect confluence of the new with the old. It brings the iconic comfortable footwear - sneaker together with Indian handwork and embroidery in a harmonious matromony.”
