00:26I think they really liked the fact that this is an old vintage textile

00:31which cannot be used like a sari

00:34because it was torn from many places.

00:37And to give it a new life and a new form and silhouette

00:42was very exciting for them.

00:44And I think they were able to compare that outfit with their own journey

00:52and with that, they made a mark.

01:28It takes around 5-6 days to make a colourful outfit.

01:47I think overall, it took us 10-15 days to figure out

01:52what exactly the right textile should be and what the right colours should be.

01:56And to make it, we spent at least 4 full nights

02:03to make sure that the sari is strong enough

02:08and not torn from anywhere.

02:10We did a lot of handwork and embroidery.
