Purchasing kaprey from online

Lifestyle Bazaar Talk
41

I spent quite a lot of time (and ENERGY :snooty:) on a few of the websites today: Fashion Veer, Indusmart, and Bargello.

From what I have noticed, Bargello seems to be the most expensive of all. Their prices are quite high in comparison to the other two.

I’ve picked out a few outfits and I am planning on placing an order for them within the next few days. I suppose it’d be a good idea to heed BeautifulBaby83’s advice and contact the websites before making the big purchase. :chai:

Attn Junaid:

I'm Hira, Fashion Veer is my boutique, I absolutely dread forums but I heard about the ongoing war between you and "catcat" and I just had to get on board to clear the air.

I would like to say that I completely respect your work and I would never get a fake ID to insult someone's creativity.

I admire bargello, Hina, Indus Mart, Utsav and DMI for their work and we all have our clientele and no one can take that away from us.

That said I would really appreciate online shoppers to stop believing everything they read in forums cause nobody here knows who anybody is and maybe someone who doesnt get along with me or even Junaid can come here, randomly post something negative and mislead you. I understand that no one's perfect and every business has satisfied and unsatisfied customers but before you guys build a false image of us talk to us.

If you were in our shoes you would realize how hard it is to design something so perfect for someone from across the miles, someone who's just an order number or an e-mail ID or just a voice over the phone. That's why I suggest whoever your designer is build a good relationship with him/her cause believe it or not that can do wonders! Make sure your chemistry blends well and the enjoy the difference!

Thanks a bunch and I apologize if I offended anyone in any way

Dear Ms Hira,
thanks for your post i really appreciate it.
actually if you go through my posts again it isn't a real issue whether catcat was associated with your company or not what i am most concerned some imposter (although i still don't consider her that as yet she may needs time to find the details) coming here and posting some negative thoughts about anyone.

if you go through my history here i had rarely posted anything negative about the competition, i can comment on pricing or policies but not on products as we not seen offerings of many, even if somewhere i had wrote something its like a guess or in association of somebody else's experience, as many have written our prices are higher etc thats all right they can discuss and its a feedback .

the thing that went between me and catcat here, and what she had wrote about us i could have ignored it, but the way she had written so casually, her reasoning i thought of taking her on, still i requested her to provide her order details but as yet she had failed to do although now i think i shouldn't have mentioned your company name.

i mean i can say if i had not used someones services "i THINK xyz is not good because this and that " , but i can't say i had bought from them and it missed something when you actually have not bought a thing.

i respect this forum we had so many valuable customers through this forum and many users here really buy and also they do give weight to what is being said here and it would not only be injustice to us but to the other members as well.

now coming to later part of your message, actually i can understand how hard it is not only to copy(actually we don't design those so no issue of design here) but make those outfits and its not just outfit that we are selling but total feel of it in image (outfit+model+background), we had been associated with this online industry since 3 1/2 years to which fashion veer is welcome addition and to add to your point, its not just order number or voice on other side but real people who trust us, actually pay us what we asked and want to look good on their special events like people in our family too.

thanks again for your post and welcome to the paklinks.

it is perfectly safe to order from any three you had mentioned its upto you to decide who is better and who prices are right.
outfits that you are buying are specialty outfits although they are copied but shouldn’t mean it should be inexpensive and every house would offer you their own price and their own version.

Re: Purchasing kaprey from online

Honestly, Indusmart seems to have the best and a well coordinated website. When you look through it, you're attracted to the collection. FashionVeer and Bargello not only have an old fashioned website but their collection of clothes suck! When exactly did these designs come out- 5 years ago??! If you're looking to get clients, give them choices and for god's sake, update the collection. And whoever is associated with FashionVeer here, who pays $3000 for the bridal outfits?!! and which bridal outfit on your website is even worth that much money?! You can go to Karma and get something much more decent in similar price!

Re: Purchasing kaprey from online

Alot of the hinab collection i have seen on three different other websites:hmmm: are they related?

47

LOL actually I just checked it and most crappiest ones are for 4000. Even Karma did not quote me this much for their most expensive and gorgeous dress. The prices are very in inconsistent on Bargello and Fashionveer.

48

i would be posting the picture of kaam for you for this outfit and youdecide price we charge is right or not.

49

Ok post the pic then..

50

unfortunately i cant post whole embroidery image due to some reason but you can surely get an idea from this image as well.

do note this image is taken from a scanner after embroidery was done on first piece (unstitched) of this design for our reference only to be used whenever a new order came.

first pieces of each design is made separately we call them samples, and then for next order they are sent to production dept.
this image is of sleeve bunches around ankle in image.
i hope this helps or atleast give you an idea.

i had also seen this particular outfit from bargello as well a few months back and work on it was good as well and they had concentrated more on golden.
their stitching was specially neat i must admit.

51

i think this is the design: http://indusmart.com/shop/di-light-blue-silk-shalwarkameez-c-320-p-2-pr-18937.html

here is the image of the suit.

blue image: http://www.indusmart.com/gupshup/sample1.jpg
above image is taken from scanner (unstitched) and is of daman and chalk.

pink & red: http://www.indusmart.com/gupshup/sample4.jpg
above image is light version of the design customer changed the color and fabric and design, and is taken from a camera.

i hope this helps.

Re: Purchasing kaprey from online

Mr junaid.. I do like the outfits in the pics but dont u think u guyz r very expensive????? I have seen much better work than this and that to in a very reasonable prices.. fashionveer and indusmart have same outfits but prices r diff, u guyz r very expensive and fashionveer is much afordable..

53

thanks for the feedback..

i dont think $280 is higher price when fabrics are banarsi/jamavar on dupatta and shalwar and shalwar is patiala around US$50 only for shalwar fabric, , embroidery is on sleeves, daman, chalks, shalwar, and dupatta.
embroidery setting is mostly in crystals and kora, followed by kamdani , sequins, beads etc.

as for fashion veer's price i would be able to give my opinion after seeing their work...

Re: Purchasing kaprey from online

"midnighteyes" Originally I had ingot up the other picture was editted for a customer who wanted to see what it would look like if we got rid of work on the inside and during the process of upgrading the website this got uploaded by mistake but thanks for noticing and helping me correct my bad.

Junaid I really appreciate you welcoming me! Thanks a bunch!

Re: Purchasing kaprey from online

Oh I wanted to say one more thing .. Indus Mart and Bargello have high prices because they have a huge set up and they have offices to run and people to pay. Fashion Veer is a small set up I run everything no matter how hectic it gets but I make sure everything from picking out the fabric, dyeing, embellishment, tailoring and shipping is done in my presence. So my overheads arent as high as other websites therefore prices are lower.

Re: Purchasing kaprey from online

Hey hira can u tell me about your bridal dresses I really like the collection which is on your website.. I want 2 order it for my wedding which is in oct and your prices are very reasonable as compared 2 the other designers.. will u be able to make a wedding dress 4 me? plz do reply

57

I am not sure what you bought from fashion veer. I have wasted so much money there, that I am too embarassed to quote here. Their stuff is awfull and the designer does not tell you that all their styles come in machine emb. with cheap materials and styles. I will post some pics here for all to see. what I ordered and what I received.

58

[quote="midnighteyes"]

I wrote to fashionveer and they said although the pictures on the site are from magazines (ie not their own creations) when they reproduce them they tell you whether it will look exactly like that or if it will look different etc. Also they said they can give some discounts if you buy more than 2, or pay from Western Union etc. But I dunno...I still find they are charging too much for designs that they ripped off of other designers. And if they make recreations then I think its only fair that they post the pictures of the recreations that THEY made not only pictures they took out of magazines! Show me what YOU can do, not what others are doing!

I found this funny. Same suit on Bargello and Fashionveer. Look how Fashionveer "altered" the outfit. Sorry but using paintshop like this doesnt exactly show how talented and professional you are!

Here Here! Very well said. why post pictures coping from other sites and displaying them as yours. Post pictures of what you can make them as yours.
Its like deciving others.
As soon as I have figured out how to upload pics here, I am going to post what I ordered and what I received. From Fashion Veer.

you are partly right, we aren't huge as yet but still a modest setup.

i can understand what you are doing and this is natural, in each and every setup initially everything has to be done by the owner but for how long, as you would grow up inshAllah, then you had to delegate lesser important tasks to others for ensuring the smooth running of various processes and ensuring the benchmarks are adhered because one cant be everywhere always.

only setup cost is no reason for higher price because setup evolve with business and as business grows we need bigger setup and business is able to absorb fixed costs, and in our business major factor for price per outfit is embroidery and its materials then comes fabric then comes setup costs.

by the way Hira i know it does matter when things get hectic and messy, ones most precious asset his/her intellect deteriorate and it is intellect of the owner/ceo on which businesses live on and evolve for years and years to come.
