This is an excerpt from a 1983 fashion article regarding Sister Max:
Beads have also been the big news at Saks Fifth Avenue, says Ellin Saltzman, vice president and corporate fashion director. Among the best sellers are intricate beaded dresses from a
company named Sister Max, owned by a former American teacher who went to Nepal, became an ordained Tibetan Buddhist nun and now operates a multimillion-dollar beaded business in New Delhi. For women accustomed to spending $2,000 and more on a dress, Sister Max's richly beaded dresses at $400 look like a bargain. (Sister Max says her dresses are ''divine.'')
One reason why Sister Max has been able to sell at a relatively inexpensive price is the fact that her clothes are made in areas where there is skilled and plentiful labor available at low wages.
