Ep. 63: On saris, sustainability and style with designer and architect Amanpreet Birgisson

Happy 2022! To kick off this New Year, I’m delighted to bring you someone who has energized the online sari world with her style and substance! Amanpreet Birgisson joins me in this chat and shares her journey from her childhood in a Sikh family in Ranchi to designing homes in Washington D.C. where she lives with her Icelandic husband and two sons. Her thoughtful and beautifully styled posts on Instagram sharing her passion for saris inspire me every day and have struck a chord with an equally passionate group of sari sisters around the world!
