It all began in 2015. We never wanted to live a typical 9-to-5 life, so we were always looking for something new — something we could build on our own. That’s when e-commerce came to our mind. We started with just one product from China, without knowing anything about import or export. Surprisingly, that product worked well for us. Encouraged, we tried many more products over the next two years. In 2017, we imported our first handbag — and it clicked. That success led us to launch many more handbags and backpacks, and soon bags became the core of our business. By 2020, we started thinking differently. Instead of just selling products, we wanted to create them. We knew nothing about manufacturing at that time. Still, in November 2020, we purchased our first sewing machine. We tried working with freelance stitchers, but nothing really worked. Then in February 2021, we gave it another shot. We hired our first team member — a pattern master — who helped us create our first bag from scratch. It took another 2-3 months of trial and error, but finally, in April, we had our first in-house product ready. From there, we moved step by step. We increased machines from 1 to 3, hired two stitchers, and began production in a single room of our home in Jaipur. Those early days were full of struggles — from machine breakdowns to fabric sourcing, hiring issues, and learning everything the hard way. But today, we proudly run a full-scale unit with 100+ machines, and we manufacture hundreds of different bags. We now create not only for our brand but also for many Indian and international brands. Our products are live on every major marketplace in India, and we’re now expanding globally too. This entire journey was built by Vikas and Smita — husband and wife — whose initials formed the brand name: Vi-Smi-intrend. It’s not just a business. It’s a story of growth, grit, and love — stitched into every single bag we make
