Her education began while she was a baby in a crib, watching a parade of customers sashay around wearing designer dresses at Meta, (a store owned by her mom and dad).
As a teenager, Raj traveled to the garment district in New York with her mom and waded through ‘tons” of designer labels for Rio Boutique, a store owned by her mom and grandmother. So… quality, style and “good buys” are in her blood.
