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.

Ananya Joshi
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.

Adeel Mirza
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.

Rabia Shah
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.

Priya Menon
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.

Farhan Siddiqui
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.

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.

Naila Bugti
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 The research pages with historical references add so much depth.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.

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.

Devika Katoch
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.
