A wardrobe malfunction at university. Our founder Nikita needed a last-minute blouse to match a lehenga (skirt), and her mum posted a sari-blouse which ended up being too small. With no other options available, Nikita was left with a half-open blouse, held together with some safety pins. With many saris, lehengas and other South Asian outfits, each component is made to match with each other, leaving no room for mix-and-matching or fluctuation in sizing – and ultimately leaving that outfit sitting in your wardrobe. This sparked the idea of creating a brand which specialises in crop tops that can be worn as sari blouses, along with her western wardrobe.
