In this exclusive interview, we delve into Sasha’s journey, inspirations, and the transformative power of fashion in bridging the gap between tradition and contemporary style. Can you share the inspiration behind the creation of One Minute Saree® and how your vision for infusing modern allure into the traditional saree came about?
The inspiration for One Minute Saree® quite simply came through personal experience and necessity. After several frustrating experiences of wearing a saree, I learned many women in India get their sarees pre-stitched from tailors, and it was my “a-ha” moment.
So, we introduced a product wherein the saree keeps its natural grace but is easy to drape and also has an in-built petticoat and the option for a custom blouse, so you really don’t have to go all over the place for the required accessories.
One Minute Saree is positioned as a brand that blends tradition and modernity. Sasha Revankar: The saree itself is an art form and in my experience, it’s appreciated around the world, so it has not been that much of a challenge.
As the visionary behind the brand, could you highlight some key challenges you faced in introducing a modern twist to the iconic saree and how you overcame them?
As I see myself as a prime demographic for One Minute Saree® I sought to make a brand I could appreciate. Operating from New Jersey, USA, how do you perceive the global reception of One Minute Saree, and what strategies
Have you employed to capture the hearts of women worldwide?
I feel our brand is widely appreciated – from India to the USA, to Europe, people I have encountered are very familiar with sarees and we have gotten appreciation from old and young, Indians and Non-Indians. While we do strive to keep up with trends, we are also a company that keeps up with tradition!
We are very excited to launch a new concept in 2023, the Sarong Saree. The concept of this collection was to take DNA from the saree but transform it into something you can wear in non-traditional settings.
