In life, the most important journey is one’s own. Drawing inspiration from this philosophy, Mumbai-based Manjot Kaur Sanghar founded her first independent brand, Lonesole, at only 25 years of age. As a young, school girl, her foray into personal care and handbags commenced with curious conversations in company of family, friends, and even strangers. She realised the pivotal role of grooming from early on, but was often hesitant to splurge owing to most luxury brands’ exorbitant pricing. “Why must you have to save a nice product for only special occasions when you wish to flaunt it on a daily basis?” she asks rhetorically before elaborating on her desire to bridge the gap in the Indian market and make quality ingredients readily available for all at attractive costs.

Manjot’s familial background in perfumery ignited her passion and she flung herself into research and educated herself about her interests before pursuing a career in the field backed by her expertise in sales and marketing. Her labour came to fruition when she met like-minded professionals, whose visions aligned with hers. Thus, Lonesole was born.

The label, which lays emphasis on originality and innovation, is an extension of her witty and charismatic personality. Take your pick from the brand’s wide array of products and you’ll know she means business. The moisturisers, shampoos, conditioners, face wash, hand wash, and perfumes are infused with distinct fragrances and gentle formulas that adhere to safety norms, making a compelling case for the entire range to be included in your personal care regimen. When it comes to handbags, its unique designs meld fashion with versatility and its multi-functionality built is ideal for a working professional ever on the move. Corporate, casual, day or night—whatever may be your desired look, trust Lonesole to step in as your personal stylist.

Much like the establishment’s ethos, its mascot—a reindeer—symbolises wisdom, inventiveness, resourcefulness, and its nature to travel and adapt in different environs. Lonesole hopes to empower its customers with its one of a kind offerings.
