What Happened to Forever Modest After Shark Tank India?
When it comes to fashion dresses, we only think it needs to be revealing. But we don’t realize people who belong to conservative families want fashionable dress as well.
Who is the Founder of Forever Modest?
To tackle this problem, Sana Farheen Shaikh came up with a fashion brand called Forever Modest. This fashion brand will mainly give different options in modest hijab, office attire, sportswear, casual wear, etc.
Sana realized many brands are doing this modest fashion outside of India, but they are too expensive. That’s why to keep the pricing part reasonable she decided to make her own brand Forever Modest.
With Forever Modest you’ll get different styles and sizes at an affordable price. Price ranges from ₹1499 to ₹3000.
