Gifted this to my parents

My parents are from Lahore and they spent hours going through it together. My dad kept reading the research sections out loud. Such a wonderful gift for anyone who cares about our heritage.

The historical photos are a treasure

The mix of original illustrations with actual historical photographs from the 1800s is brilliant. The Maharaja of Jodhpur page with the old photograph next to the painting blew my mind.

Stayed up reading the whole thing

Started flipping through it after dinner and couldn't put it down. The stories behind each attire are so well written and you can tell how much research went into this. Worth every rupee.

Never seen Pahari culture in a book before

I'm from Mirpur and we never get represented properly in these things. Seeing the Pahari-Pothohari section with accurate details about our traditions, food and language made me so proud.

Perfect on my living room table

It looks absolutely gorgeous on display and every visitor picks it up and starts going through it. The cover art alone is a conversation starter. Print quality is top notch.

This is what representation looks like

The fact that this book includes the Sheedi community and their roots in Coastal Balochistan shows the level of care that went into it. Every ethnic group gets their due. Incredible work.

The Muhajir page hit different

The Muhajir page hit different

My family moved from Lucknow during Partition. Seeing the Muhajir/Lucknowi attire represented in this book with all the history of our community was deeply personal. Beautifully done.

Sneha Kapoor

Beautiful book, came well packaged

The packaging was great and the book itself feels very premium. The map on the back is a nice touch. Only wish there were a few more pages on the Kashmiri attires but otherwise love it.

So much I didn't know

Imran Chaudhry

So much I didn't know

I thought I knew our Punjabi culture well but this book taught me things about regional attire variations I had no idea about. The writing is thoughtful and the artwork is stunning.

Finally someone did this right

As a Baloch woman I have never seen our traditional dress documented so beautifully. The research pages with historical references add so much depth. This belongs in every South Asian home.

The Sindhi Rajput page alone is worth it

Haris Ahmed

The Sindhi Rajput page alone is worth it

I'm Sindhi and seeing our traditional attire represented with this level of detail made my day. The patterns on the endpapers are gorgeous too. Great paper quality.

Can't stop flipping through it

The illustrations are so detailed and the research behind each attire is fascinating. I keep going back to the Sindhi and Balochi sections. Such a beautiful tribute to our cultures.
