Vajor is a refreshing break from the monotony of this industry. A youthful brand created solely to bridge the gap between run of the mill ready-to-wear and high fashion, the brand aims to build a community of independent, mature and free spirited people who are non-conformists and driven individuals. In an exclusive interview with IMAGES BoF, Founder and CEO Nathasha AR Kumar speaks about the concept behind the brand, its positioning, commitment to sustainability and more.
IBOF: Tell us in short about Vajor — the concept behind it, it’s genesis and core strength: Nathasha Kumar (NK): “A brand for the independent minds, the kind hearts and the nomadic souls.” We live and breath this very motto. Vajor came into being in 2014 with a very clear concept in mind. Observations revealed how the market is filled with either off-the-rack clothing or luxury couture. And there is a wide valley in between these two. It was high time somebody built a bridge!
As an e-commerce women’s wear fashion and lifestyle brand, we have a very specific goal. We deliver sustainable fashion and decor to consumers with an assurance of unmatched quality, fair price, comfort, modesty, international appeal and superior aesthetics.
IBoF:Tell us about the V-Blog and the concept behind it. What percentage of consumers that come to the site navigate to the blog? And had there been times when people have navigated from the blog to a specific product? Are the bloggers in-house?
NK: Content is the new social currency and thus, an extreme amount of creativity and technicality goes into developing a visual picture that does justice to the brand and its commodities. Everything that goes onto the blog is governed by a unified language and every written word, image or video we create embodies that language. We believe our community is about people who are doing immensely more than just fashion. And so, the stories we narrate on the blog all talk about various aspects of our consumer’s lifestyle. We often tell stories of a muse on the blog. This muse is not only a true Vajor consumer in her personality but she is also a medium through which we can connect to our target market.
