Three decades back when Ms. Sana Hashwani and Ms. Safinaz Muneer launched their clothing brand, the brands like Gul Ahmed and Alkaram were still dominating the market.

6. Khaadi

A menswear brand that was finally transformed into much of a female-centric clothing brand. Mr. Shamoon Sultan founded Khaadi in 1998 with a standalone outlet for handmade menswear.

So he introduced the female collection that received a great response from all over Pakistan.

Now, the brand has several other collections, including home textiles and handbags. The bags collection includes a huge variety, from tote bags to shoulder bags and clutches. The demand for these bags is so high that sometimes their online collection runs totally out of stock. However, you can still shop their bags directly from an outlet.

7. Cross Stitch

Like Sana Safinaz, Cross Stitch was founded by two female entrepreneurs in 2005. Within just a few decades, the brand evolved rapidly turning a huge crowd of fashionistas towards itself.

8. Almas

Almas is a growing brand that opened its first flagship store back in 2013 in Lahore. As compared to the other big brands in the list, Almas stands as a medium-sized one but still, it has become a familiar brand among the masses in Pakistan.

Almas has a great variety of handbags and clutches collection that you can buy both in-store and online. Although the collection is a bit expensive.

10. Astore

Astore is an online brand that sells vegan leather (synthetic leather) bags. They have a vast variety consisting of several bags in different colors, styles, and sizes but all are made out of the same vegan materials.
