Re: Bed sets ..

Last year I bought a cotton bed set from Gul Ahmed. It was on 50% sale, cost me 2500 hundred rupees. Queen size quilt cover, pillow cases and abed sheet.They had fine bridal bed sets there as well, I do not remember the exact prices but they were beautiful.

you know, someone was once telling me the same thing and I didnt believe them … now i do :hinna:

Yup, CB, I saw some really nice stuff in Bareeze and Chen One a few years back but it was just as expensive as buying them from the UK.

Although, what you have in the picture just has some machine embroidery by the look of it and most of the stuff I saw, had threadwork, sequins, cut dana etc etc. Ok for a throw but not an everyday duvet cover.

I’ve always found nice stuff in TK Maxx - Cotton duvet covers with silk/satin borders and embroidery on them.

Cotton bedding is a lot cheaper in pak. My dad’s relative is a sales rep for one of the factories in Pakistan and he comes to the UK/EU a couple of times a year as they sell to all the big dept. stores and supply for some well known brands. I’ve seen with my own eyes that stuff he says you can get in the factory outlet for a few hundred rupees, being sold in John Lewis for £80+
BUT, he also said the markets are hugely different and the stuff they supply for sale within Pakistan is not the same as what they export.

Re: Bed sets ..

Guys , I wanna ask when you buy bed spreads or quilt covers that have thread emboidery or sequins on it … its nearly impossible to wash them often .. right?

How do you maintain that these things get a long life?

You can, they will just lose their new look quickly!

I wash inside out and on a lower spin cycle.

But I prefer to buy mostly cotton bedsheets that have just a fancy border and that too mostly thread embroidery with minimal sequins… rather than the whole thing.
