WEAVING PUNJAB'S VIRSA INTO THREADS OF TRADITION

What inspired you to start with your brand, Threads?

From the earliest days of childhood, a love for suits ignited the spark that led to the birth of Threads. Fueled by memories of my father's fondness for vibrant suits and a persistent desire to don those elegant ensembles, the idea took root. Despite my mother's urging for more contemporary choices, the allure of suits remained. The vision to deliver impeccable quality and punctuality in stitching propelled me to turn this passion into reality, starting from my mother's very own home along with my sister-in-law.

How do you balance traditional and modern preferences in designs?
