Wasli, karchob, zardozi, silk threads, precious and semi-precious stones are used in fascinating combinations to create unusual and distinctive garments.


How They Started ...


They started their luxury brand in the year 2000 with the critically acclaimed millennium show in Lahore, Pakistan.  That success brought with it an unprecedented amount of glitz and glamour.
