In 2015, after taking a break for almost 3 years due to the birth of my first son, it occurred to me how much I really wanted to go back to designing. I just couldn’t be a full-time stay at home mom anymore. This time I wanted to start something on my own as my first ever ethnic wear collection was a collaboration with my good friend, Dineli back in 2010.
I’ve always been a huge fan of shirts. Finding a good quality well-cut shirt in a unique print or even in a solid colour is usually a nightmare in the local market. So I started experimenting my designs and made every new design to my size and wore by myself to really get the feel and feedback before going into showcasing a collection. Overwhelming support from friends and family led me to prepare for my first collection in November 2015.
The initial plan was to have the designs showcased and retailed as a subsidiary of A Touch of Class-Kapoor’s Furnishings, A well known one-stop shop for Interior Designing run by my mother-in-law. By then the brand was quite popular on social media, especially on Instagram. New designs were launched online every week and within no time this was recognized more as an online brand for womenswear shirts.
Time went by, preparations for collection launch at the Showroom were kept on hold due to personal engagements but the business picked up online and everyone who ordered once became regular clients of Kapoors. Here I am, having launched my very own virtual clothing store, with love and support from friends, family, fans and my forever loyal customers.
Kapoors Womenswear is a specialised brand for Womenswear Shirts and is very much committed to giving the good old shirt a twist in every design it adds to the collection. The past two years have been a roller coaster ride for me with all the designing and orders along with the birth of my twin boys yet the journey is a dream come true. It was all about how I wanted to continue what I have always been passionate about. Launching the website was my number one goal to reach out to you better. Lots of new designs, themed collections and surprises have already planned for future and all designs will exclusively be available online.
