Which of the brands do you buy from and what specific fabric collection do you buy from them?
Re: What brand clothes do you buy ?
I don’t really, not a fan. I buy good quality fabrics from here (or in Pak if I’m there) and send them for stitching - design depending on what sort of occasion I will want to wear it on. I generally buy linens (cotton viscose) for casuals but sometimes other stuff as well. For example, I had a piece of stretch jersey which I sent to Aiman and asked her to make a 4-panel long shirt with churidaar sleeves (side panels and sleeves were plain), finished off with crochet lace at the damuun. I recently bought some really nice chiffon which I’ve sent elsewhere to have stitched in the style of this Fahad Hussayn dress.
Dabbling with trying some ready-made fancy casuals these days… thinking of buying something from Sana Abbas. I really don’t like fabric collections for casual wear… for stuff that will be washed a lot, fabric quality is really important. I bought some Ego linen shirts last year and they wash really well.
Re: What brand clothes do you buy ?
you mean desi or non?
desi I’ve not really hooked up to any specific brand…but if given a choice I would go with the “Kapray Shapray” label. ![]()
for non-desi I’ve noticed that my closet has quite a bit of Calvin Klein for work…casual is a huge variety depending on the mood and style available.

Thanks ladies, yes I meant desi clothes. I am such a nutter , I have no clue who is who is Pakistan :hinna:
Stoppit, that FH design looks awesome
Re: What brand clothes do you buy ?
For loose fabric- Al-Karam
For pret wear- Mostly Khaddi, Occasionally Karma.
Re: What brand clothes do you buy ?
These days, random stuff. I'm leaning towards branded stuff now only because the non-branded stuff in London costs the same or more, but without the quality. The last few things I got were Junaid Jamshed, Threads and Motif, and Origins for casual wear. I don't really tend to buy from London shops anymore as well, the ones that stock these kind of stuff hitch up the prices to ridiculous amounts, so I usually get relatives to send them or just order them online. ooh I bought a zainab chottani kurta recently from brand central and it was fine as well, not cheap but not expensive either.
Re: What brand clothes do you buy ?
All brands lol bcoz i need so many dresses for office :D but mostly nishat, gul ahmed, khaadi
What brand clothes do you buy ?
Gul Ahmed lawn, Al Karam lawn, Khaadi stitched suits and kurtays. Occasional Sana Safinaz and Bareeze.
I like Lakhani too, but don't have much from them.
My mom has her 10-15 yr old Gul Ahmed suits and they still look amazing. She washes them in the washing machine! Simple lawn ones. Same for Bareeze's chickan.

Recently I bought three heavy embroidered kurtis (approx knee length and slightly abv new) from Needle Impressions. Very pretty stuff, first one I purchased from Needle Impressions!
Re: What brand clothes do you buy ?
i like nishat

Re: What brand clothes do you buy ?
I go for branded only for lawns and buy Sana and Safinaz, Gul Ahmed etc ( non branded cotton and lawn for home wear). Get loose un stitched fabric for formal and party wear and go mostly for the type and not brand.
Re: What brand clothes do you buy ?

No not online.
Re: What brand clothes do you buy ?
See I only go for branded like Sana Safinaz etc because I can never find non branded online? I hate paying the premiums for suits that I wear only on occasion. Do not even wear desi clothes to the point that they need to be washed. Never visit Pakistan so I have no access to regular non-branded, just regular stuff because everything online is this designer or that designer. Sana Safinaz I particularly like but others I only consider because regular ma and pa shops do not have Facebook pages or websites to access their stuff... or am I just wrong and people are only buying designer casuals these days? Are there no ma and pa shops anymore?

I don't know if people can afford shirts that are 3000+ when once month wage is that for some people. Even the "sale" is not really a sale. imo
PakLinks gives a very warped view of reality tbh.
Re: What brand clothes do you buy ?
Sorry, but minimum wage is 12K not 3K, but true not everyone can or wants to buy brands. Thats why people like us shop at daily bazaars.
Re: What brand clothes do you buy ?
Sorry - didn't read the thread carefully. I don't wear sana safinaz
