Re: bunto vs umar sayeed for baraat?
hey guys … have been a lurker on this forum for a while and absolutely love it!! since u guys seem to know so much about pakistani clothes, i wanted to ask ul a question - which designer would you prefer for a wedding jora - bunto kazmi or umar sayeed??
i want my wedding jora (indian lehenga with choli style outfit) from either one of these designers since price is not the issue … im thinking of getting something in the range of 9-10 lakhs pkr (since im from india, that means its only 5 lakh indian rupees which is not tooo bad considering the top end designers here chanrge excess of 10-15 lakhs i.e. approx 25-30 lakhs pkr for a jora!!!)
my requirement is something unbelievably stunning and intricate … real zari embroidery and delicate heirloom worthy stuff…
what do u guys suggest? shld i do bunto or umar?? i understand these are the 2 very top end designers of pak but who is more worth it in terms of giving value for money??? i know bunto is amazing but i also loveeeeee the intricate work borders of sayeed…his work is soooo different and u can immediately identify one of his pieces…but is umar just a fad??? i know bunto is considered to be a piece u can pass down generations - can the same be said for an umar ?any idea if umar an outfit uses real zari like how bunto does???
would really appreciate it if you guys cld give me ur opinion!! pros and cons of getting a bunto and Umar? esp in terms of actual karigari and ofcourse the “impression/reputation” these two designers’ clothes have in pak!
(pls lets not start the argument of why someone wld spend that much money on clothes etc etc)
thanksss!
Ever since I’ve joined this forum.. I’ve thought of the same thing. And you are right about the pricing as well. If you convert into INR it doesn’t seem unattainable if you plan and save ahead.
But I wonder how it would transform into a ghagara choli ?? Would it still look that good ??
Besides how do u end up going to Pakistan ?? Specially with an Indian passport ?? I don’t think they take order over the phone ??
