Re: My Asian Haute Couture Designs. SairaJi

Hi Saira,

What’s the price for this outfit? Thanks!

Re: My Asian Haute Couture Designs. SairaJi

Saira ji, I have checked your website & I have got a quick question about your prices:

You’re selling this red outfit for $320 on your website but pakifairy quoted it for $230 in her thread…Huge price difference! I have noticed that for some of other outfits too :hmmm: So, I am just confused!

Re: My Asian Haute Couture Designs. SairaJi

hmmm i love the style of it but i dont want it as an anarkali. Can it be made into a shalwar kameez? with the same style with the arms and the work? what would you charge for that?

Re: My Asian Haute Couture Designs. SairaJi

Very nice collection but most of the stuff is wayyy over priced !!

Re: My Asian Haute Couture Designs. SairaJi

Since the price is soo high, you should offer a discount if somone is buying for example 3 or more outfits. like 10% off or 15% off

Re: My Asian Haute Couture Designs. SairaJi

I agree, some really lovely stuff but very expensive.

Re: My Asian Haute Couture Designs. SairaJi

so does pakifairy still work for you?

Re: My Asian Haute Couture Designs. SairaJi

Sandalwood: pakifairy cannot offer my outfit cheaper so if shes saying 230 that is incorrect, its a BRIDAL red outfit i made for a client of mine who is also on GS her name is Silsila here, so you can ask her how much she paid for it, infact it must have cost her more than 320 as 320 was the price i sold it for and pakifairy has to include her comission in it aswell. Once again, this outfit cannot be work everyday its a heavy formal for a bridal or nikkah or engagement so i think 320 for it is quite less!

FashionFondness: The red outfit is for 280 :)

Mysticalrain: Shalwar kameez is 229.

Jal_Pari: I do offer discounts on bulk order dear and also, the stuff is so not overpriced, yI havent even put up a single price of my outfit as yet except for one or two just now! Maybe you have seen the prices my vendor has put up which includes her comission. I am hence taking orders myself now. Another thing, if one looks at the quality and class of our kaam, you will realise its worth every bit and penny of it. Ask my clients :)

Re: My Asian Haute Couture Designs. SairaJi

Pakifairy does not work for me however if people approach her regarding any of my outfits or for something custom made she does get them through to me. She used to be my only vendor but now i have NO official vendor.

Re: My Asian Haute Couture Designs. SairaJi

how much is this one

Re: My Asian Haute Couture Designs. SairaJi

Hello hania this outfit, with capris and a fully embellished kaam wala dupatta will cost you $240 plus shipping which will be $275. If you are located in karachi your shipping is free, and if anywhere in pakistan it will be the pakistani flatrate :)

Re: My Asian Haute Couture Designs. SairaJi

I will also frequently offer tips and tricks on my post.
For example, wearing a longer kameez automatically gives one an illusion of not only added height but a slimmer torso to hip ratio. Hence nowadays i will advise all my clients and prospective clients to go for the longer kameez with either capris or azaar pants. Churidars are highly in today aswell. See pishwases tend to make the little bulkier ones amongst us look a little bulky so the longer kameez paired with a churidar gives the same look except the client looks slimmer, smarter and classier.
I also do matching bags with the outfit, clutches that is.
Another tip i have for you ladies is that you should avoid wearing dupattas that are made of raw silk or anything that adds bulk, even when wearing casuals, avoid khaddar and cotton dupattas, wear swiss voile or chiffon or chiffon silk. Wearing a dupatta made of a thicker fabric makes you look, well, fluffy, hence when worn on the neck it adds bulk to the neckline and also to the sides of your figure.
Always religiously pair your capri outfit with a beautiful set of heels, if youre into embellished flats that looks great but make sure you always wear churidars with heels as it looks very classy and elongates your appearance.
A simple casual or semi formal outfit for example the ones on my site with just work on the neckline can be made into a full time formal with the addition of a stunning pair of large earrings and stilettos. Eye makeup should always be kept in contrast to your outfit so if youre wearing a deep color go for an icy eyed look with eyeshadow ranging from icy gold and shimmery silver going deeper to bronze brown or smoked gray. Bangles, specially gold artificial ones add a regal and ethnic look to any outfit. I will be offering accessories very soon aswell :)

Hope reading this gave you an idea of how I like to dress my client. I want them to look classy, royal and very chic. I want them to look like the woman you see very not so often and you not only desire what shes adorns but you like every bit and piece of what she is, from her eyemakeup to her personality. A good ensemble can add great depths to a persons appeal and attraction and also their aura, not just their look. ;)

Re: My Asian Haute Couture Designs. SairaJi

Since this is a global forum, I think it'd be appreciated if prices were in Pk Rupees. The dollar tends to fluctuate but your costs in rupees should remain stagnant (unless accoutning for inflation over a long-term period).
BTW...your designs and quality is excellent! Good luck!

Re: My Asian Haute Couture Designs. SairaJi

thankyou naqsa, im glad people here are offering so much support and encouragement to new talent. It gives us a great boost!
However dear, i request all my clients that my main preference of payments be in dollars as it is a universal currency also because pakistani rupee inflation and value is highly unreliable aswell. And need not worry, if the dollar values rise i always accomodate and lower/increase cost accordingly. I want all my clients to feel great and proud that they have spent their money on something that truly deserved it.

Re: My Asian Haute Couture Designs. SairaJi

I agree with Naqsa. There are lot of Canadian guppies here. And as you know if you are selling something for 350 here it costs us almost 430 CAD dollars !!! If they were in rupees then it would be lot easier for us to compare the prices.

Re: My Asian Haute Couture Designs. SairaJi

^ Yeah, b/c the CAD is constantly going up and down against the US dollar. I still think that a sellar should collect their revenue in their own currency and leave the risk of fluctuation to the buyer. So this way if someone who is buying from Australia/Canada/UK/USA can evalaute the cost of the outfit against the value of their currency at that point in time.

Also, Sairaji I'd like to mention that people on Gupshup are very warm and friendly. Your work has always been appreciated, even when PF was selling it. Having said that, this appreciation brings a lot of responsibility as well. People who've had bad experiences with Hajra Hayat, Nomi Ansari, ROUGE, are very vocal about it.
I hope that you will continue to impress us :-)
