SANA KHAN PATEL: A JOURNEY TO THE AMERICAN DREAM

Born in Lahore, Pakistan, to a Pakistani mother and an Indian father, Sana Khan Patel’s story is one of blending cultures and overcoming borders. Raised in the vibrant blend of South Asian traditions, she moved to Newark, New Jersey, at a young age, where she encountered the challenges and opportunities of immigrant life. These experiences instilled in her a resolve to pursue the American Dream with boldness and hope.

Adapting to her new environment, Sana embraced the opportunities that America offered, her early years marked by humble beginnings sweeping floors at a local fabric store. This job, while modest, ignited a deep-seated passion for textiles and design—a passion that would eventually define her career. These experiences laid the foundation for her profound understanding of fashion’s transformative power.

Now married to her best friend and biggest supporter, Sana is a proud mother of three boys and has realized her dream of becoming a celebrated designer. Her journey from the gritty streets of Newark to a fashion industry innovator is a narrative of resilience, creativity, and the support of a loving family.

At the heart of her work, Sana is committed to empowering women through her designs, offering garments that are not just clothes but symbols of identity and strength. Each collection from Aara by Sana reflects her journey, celebrates her dual heritage, and inspires women worldwide to embrace their power and aspirations.

Running Aara by Sana with uncompromising ethical practices, Sana ensures fair wages for the skilled artisans who bring her visions to life. She takes her responsibility seriously, understanding that her decisions impact the livelihoods of many. Through her brand, Sana not only offers a unique blend of East and West but also a commitment to uplifting communities, fostering sustainability, and building a legacy of integrity and respect.
