The sisters said that their collections have been exhibited and showcased at the Montreux Moda and Globus, Switzerland, London and Swiss Manor fashion week.
The two said that their brand is passionate about incorporating social aspects into the design work and focuses on empowering women by creating livelihoods for them and also by generating funds which helps educate their children.
