Imsurenla Sanglir
Her story
Imsurenla Sanglir label herself as an Entrepreneur, Artist, Philanthropist, Environmentalist and rightly so. She has a brand of her own called One X One Nagaland and is the curator of Like.Buy.Slay. She began her brand in 2017 for One x One Nagaland and in 2020 for Like. Buy. Slay.
She tells us that One x One started off as a small venture in 2017 but came to life in 2018 when plastics were banned in Nagaland, many were using boring designs so she wanted to light it up a little and came up with “custom designs”. This venture received lots of love as Tote bags that were painted and embroidered were totally new and she thanks God for opening doors for new ideas & setting a benchmark.
On the other hand, being a stern environmentalist she came across the knowledge of how fast fashion, as well as our lifestyle, degraded the environment so she started curating a thrift page from 2020 and plus we have also become a woke community now. She said, “I try my best to teach the viewers about environmental concerns and also give a lot of styling mood boards and ideas to make thrifting more interesting and creative”.
She has always been so delighted at the prospect of becoming an entrepreneur but never thought it could come to this. She is always in awe of how God has bought her this far. It didn’t start as a concrete planned idea but it all happened by chance and people who supported her from day one made it all happen and it just keeps on growing.
When we asked about her future plans she said she wants “One X One Nagaland” to become a recognized brand by peers. And Like. Buy. Slay to be a vocal for fashion and thrift experience.
For her final note, she concludes with “It’s awesome that gen z’s & millennials are hyping up the entrepreneurial community. Years back I never fathom that one’s talent would become a source of creating cheques but all thanks & glory to God & the people who support us. Art is a creative form & I want One X One Nagaland to be a narrative of life through art.”
