Cover Story - What Goes Around Comes Around
[ By Pernia Qureshi]
'What goes around comes around' is much more than a Justin Timberlake song or words of wisdom from elders about karma, for me. The first reference these words bring to mind is a beautiful vintage luxury boutique in NYC where I spent countless hours browsing with my mother during my college years.
My love affair with pre-loved fashion actually began even earlier. As a schoolgirl, I would visit a lane in Janpath, New Delhi, with a thousand rupees and see how many export-rejected designer treasures & vintage items we could score. I have always been intrigued with discovering and rediscovering fashion with a discerning eye whether it is in my mother's closet or while thrifting. I can't think of a more beautiful and sustainable way of dressing oneself than through a wardrobe full of heirlooms and "finds".Ā

I can proudly claim that today 70% of my wardrobe is full of pre-loved or vintage items. On any given day you will find at least one piece on me that belongs to another era or was worn by someone else. Through this journey of pre-loved luxury, vintage shopping and heirloom preservation, I have developed a deep love and appreciation for re-loving pieces of fashion and giving them a new life. Through the Fashionably Pernia, 'Preloved', section we offer a wide range of designer fashion, designer handbags, luxury accessories and beautifully crafted pieces that are carefully edited to be just as relevant for today's fashion enthusiasts and collectors. It is my endeavour to take as many people as possible on this preloved journey with me and take one step further in supporting preservation and a circular fashion economy, one stylish purchase at a time!Ā
