Pakistan Planning

I had a great time in Pakistan this past week as I discovered new producer groups in Lahore and some absolutely beautiful embroidery called bullion. It looks like chunks of gold and beads elaborately decorated. This couple are the people who started their business to help women who were begging at their Mosque so that they could have jobs and not need to beg. I began design on a new line for high end hotels and event planners. Can't wait to see these designs and develop the rest of the line. We are working on the name of the new line but "incredible" is a great description for now. Here are some photos of the designs in detail and Renee our Bajalia buyer for that region. Renee and I were expecting to have a quick business meeting which wound up to be an all day affair, being invited to their home for lunch and reviewing and photographing all of the samples to begin designing from. I am loving Pakistan already, and we just started this project.
