We had the good fortune of connecting with Saadia Khan and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Saadia, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Indus Threads is driven by a mission to make a global impact for women. I wanted to create a revolutionary brand on a mission to empower women rock their confident selves – one affordable statement piece at a time. We create and curate globally inspired accessories that you have never seen before. A portion of each sale goes to our charity partners working towards helping under privileged women. By curating a collection of unique and trendy accessories, my aim is to bring luxury at an affordable price to our customers. We are not just a fashion brand but a tribute to those who dare to dream. We are a voice for those who choose to be powerful, to be confident, to be a force. Our accessories are made to empower.

We are a one-stop-shop for unique and trendy bags and jewelry pieces. We believe that an accessory is an important touch to one’s final look and increases confidence and self-esteem. A statement accessory elevates any outfit and completes your look.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Indus Threads is a silicon-valley based brand on a mission to help women rock their confident & bold selves – one dazzling statement piece at a time. We carry one-of-a-kind, affordable and elegant pieces under one roof that you can flaunt from day to night. No more searching for the right bag or clutch buried under thousands of products in a lifestyle store. We carry bags & clutches including embroidered, brass & metal, mosaic, Boho, work and evening bags. Pearls, crystals, stones, tassels, velvet, silks, chains and brass are just some of the elements present in the globally-inspired creations.

We do frequent drops in an effort to bring new products to our customers. Once sold out, we don’t restock but launch new clutches and bags to keep the excitement going for our customers. Hence, we highly encourage you to sign up on our website and be the first one to know about our launches and offers. We offer 3- day free shipping within the US for most products. Our customers and their needs are always a priority for us.

Indus Threads is a collection of trendy, unique, eclectic and statement accessory fashion. It is curated & created with passion from around the world. Each product finds inspiration from art, heritage, architecture, nature and a well-traveled lifestyle. We are a beautiful yet chaotic fusion of art and culture, of history and modernity, of the past and the future; a blend of craftsmanship with modernity.

Our collection is for today’s modern woman – global, bold, beautiful, confident, and expressive. A woman who has a vision of where she is headed knows where she came from, yet is crushing it in her present. It’s also deeply personal – as it is a manifestation of my journey to connect with my roots and share my inspiration with the world. A number of existing researches have confirmed that physical appearance is positively related to self-esteem level. And I strongly believe that a statement clutch, bag or jewelry piece is an important final touch to one’s look and increases a woman’s confidence and self-esteem.

Each piece at Indus Threads tells a story and has been inspired by one as well. I hope you enjoy this journey with me as much as I have curating and creating it for you. We are not just a brand but a community of women empowering other women. A portion of all proceeds go to our charity partners focusing on women’s health, education and safety.
