Zaaviay as an affordable Women Luxury Clothing Brand that embodies elegance, accessibility and unique perspectives. Zaaviay is inspired by Pakistani art, culture, craftsmanship and inclusivity. It is primarily an online store started in July 2019 with first store opened in Karachi in Feb 2020.
Zaaviay launches its Bridal Couture Zehnaseeb which narrates the tales of our eastern heritage encompassing modernity and tradition, exquisitely handcrafted with rich craftsmanship bringing together quintessential outfits for the bride.
The collection is crafted with zardozi work composing heritage inspiration with geometrics, floral and figurine motifs on various canvases, designs are constructed in contemporary yet conventional silhouettes to make a perfect bride.
The collection comprises of 12 Heavy bridals with variations in cuts like front open kalidar with lehanga, Lehanga choli ,heavy kalidar with Dhaka pajama, knee length shirt with gharara, angrakha with panelled gharara, straight shirt with shalwar and pishwas with churidar.
There are so many variations that its difficult for a person to choose one from it ,as a blogger personally I feel there are so many beautiful colours with intricate hand embroidery techniques which appeals a consumer, whereas in another brands or design houses its very difficult to have so many options in collection in terms of colors and cuts.
The best part about Zaaviay is that they customise the color, cut and design aesthetics according to the customer preferences and budget. The ease which brand provides is that to clear the confusion of a customer ,appointments are set with the head of design and client can clear their queries with the design head and can discuss the preference in the design.
Apart from the bridals, the heavy Formal Clothing Collection is also launched with the name of Zehnaseeb which comprises of 12 articles, including gowns, maxis, straight shirts, pishwas and long jacket with pure fabric and rich hues with intricate hand embellishments perfect for the wedding festivities.
