Re: DESIGNER STORES IN USA??PAKiSTANI OR INDIAN
New York, esp Jackson Heights, is just totally Indian stuff... dunno if they're any designer stuff..but its all indian..
i know there's pakistani stuff in Brooklyn, specifically Lahore Fashions..but last time i went they were some pretty blah and not so spechul designs there...
Re: DESIGNER STORES IN USA??PAKiSTANI OR INDIAN
I would like to know of a single store that carries the indian Designers or the Pakistani ones..U know kinda like this one upscale one like the Fiza in Houston. I have heard that in New York there is this boutique called Pashmina...do u know about that one Sara??

Re: DESIGNER STORES IN USA??PAKiSTANI OR INDIAN
But does it carry any designer..I want to know as I was thinking of Having either Pashmina or any one major boutique carry our brand.
Re: DESIGNER STORES IN USA??PAKiSTANI OR INDIAN
Pashmina is really great.. I think its great..but sooooo expensive…chooriyaan were like $40 per set!
Re: DESIGNER STORES IN USA??PAKiSTANI OR INDIAN
But u said the dresses r good, Wat do u think of its overall feel??I mean is it an upscale looking store.Wat r the price range for their formal/semi formal dresses. Do they carry trendy stuff.I have heard that the lady who owns the place is Indian Muslim?

Re: DESIGNER STORES IN USA??PAKiSTANI OR INDIAN
new york has a great boutique in the city, for indo-western/fushion work that carries mostly indian designers...indomix. they also will take orders for wedding trousous and the stuff is PRICY...but really lovely.
i would love to see if mumbai se is in the states...
in LA there are 2 boutiques across the street from each other in the desi area, can't remember the name but carried beautiful pakistani and indian designers...
Re: DESIGNER STORES IN USA??PAKiSTANI OR INDIAN
^^ yeah the desi area is called artesia n they hav quite a few designer boutiques down the street.
Re: DESIGNER STORES IN USA??PAKiSTANI OR INDIAN
amber- um its actually quite small compared to the other boutiques in the vicinity.. but its good cuz its close to the movie theater and restaurants... every single thing they had was beautiful... they even stitch saris upon request... perfect for us ABCD's :)
Re: DESIGNER STORES IN USA??PAKiSTANI OR INDIAN
inta habibi, i hadn't seen your post i think i was talking about mirage and the other boutique you mentioned :)
Re: DESIGNER STORES IN USA??PAKiSTANI OR INDIAN
amber actually in the past few years quite a few upscale boutiques have popped up in jackson heights...i dont really consider karishma an upscale boutique...their clothes border on tacky most of the time considering a price. Lately, a few shops have popped up that are actually not in plain view (i discovered them out of the blue) There are a few for example...next to a meat shop away from the main 74th street and it looks like a movie store but you have to go deep inside to see there's a whole shopping center inside. So those guys custom design clothes using catalogues as well as sell clothes in the store and their clothes are good quality. i saw some gorgeous animal printed georgette tunics with turquoise gem work and churidaar pajamas....very hip. i dont remember their name but next time i visit i can probably get their card and let u know their phone number/name etc.
also if you are planning on launching the maria b line in NY i would suggest you exhibit them first at a nice desi lounge to find out the public reaction. Payal Singhal holds exhibitions frequently at Maya lounge and alot of people attend just by word of mouth.
Re: DESIGNER STORES IN USA??PAKiSTANI OR INDIAN
Thank you so much , I would really appreciate if u could get their number.I have heard about Payal Singhal, saw her designs too. We r planning to do some exhibitions in the west coast, but again would like to provide to a few well known boutiques. Somebody had told me about Pashmina in NY,
Re: DESIGNER STORES IN USA??PAKiSTANI OR INDIAN
i heard that Mariab was opening her boutique in dallas..but not sure!
in dallas theres this boutique Passions..and i talked to the owner there and she told me that she orders clothes from pakistani major designers like HSY, Deepak Perwani, Nomi Ansari and Faiza Samee..the collection is really gud compared to other pakistani boutiques in Texas
Re: DESIGNER STORES IN USA??PAKiSTANI OR INDIAN
^^ Alina closed her boutique called Passions. I think it burned down or something.We did do a Fashion Show in November where I met her.. We will be the headquaters in Dallas still, but for the USA, we r considering providing for other major stores...Just not in Dallas...:)
