Re: Bad experience with Sana Safinaz
Well I’m sorry but as I said my wedding is too important for me to create a scene and walk out. All this happened after I had already been to her studio three times and spent ages deciding everything. As BarbiCue has pointed out, the reason why we go to these people is because they are good at what they do. And nobody in my family goes to some ‘regular store’ to get our shaadi joras, it’s not really the done thing to do in the social circle I come from.
I don’t see why I have to justify myself any further to be honest, I don’t really care about what some of you are saying because you’re not in my shoes.
I’ve had an amazing experience with her so far. I really did not get the hype before but I have been converted. Everything from her attitude to her professionalism to her work is exemplary. You always get made to feel really special with her. You have one to one appointments that last hours. With Sana Safinaz there is a tiny room with about 15 other people fighting for her attention and their studio is only open for 2 hours a day.
I just got back from Pakistan and Bunto aunty has started my jora. I only got to see the sleeves but they are the most beautiful sleeves I have ever seen. Considering I wanted something completely new, i.e. not a copy of something she has already made, it is turning out pretty much exactly how I imagined it. My shaadi date also moved from Dec to November which I thought would be an issue but she said she finishes joras more than a month in advance. She also explained she doesn’t have that many kaarigars which is why she doesn’t take that many orders. I’m just so glad I chose her for my shaadi jora. And can I just say I am only paying her 1 lac more compared to the Sana Safinaz valima jora so she isn’t that expensive compared to the more commercial designers.
I will start a thread once I’ve received all my clothes.
