Little Things in Life



Zainab Masood founded LTIL when she felt a shortage of craft stores in Pakistan. She believes that little things in life have the most meaning and impact, which is why she started this Islamabad-based brand. LTIL offers a range of custom-made cushions, totes, aprons and even coasters with humorous phrases like ‘I got mugged’. Check it out on Instagram under the handle @ltil.by.zee for more information.

Absolutely Caked



These bespoke painted cakes by Zairah Maher are absolutely stunning! Whether you prefer a floral design or a beautiful skyline from a city of your choice, this artist is able to delightfully paint them onto the delicious desserts. A tried and test dessert solution, these cakes taste just as yummy as they look! Absolutely Caked is based in Karachi; however, they deliver all over Pakistan. Call 0332-8299131 to order.

The Art Greek is an online store, which designs hand-painted fashion accessories. Their vibrant artwork is done on rings, earrings, necklaces, bangles and more. Some of their most popular pieces include the Nukhtay series, where Urdu alphabets are painted on to funky jewellery pieces, embracing the rich culture of Pakistan.

Meher Daultana Jewellery



Meher Daultana’s jewellery recently received international acclaim when it was handpicked by discerning curators during an exhibit at the iconic Saatchi Gallery in London. A fly on the wall tells us that the demand to exhibit back home has been too great to ignore. Her classic silver fine jewellery can proudly be passed on as an heirloom, but won’t send you crying to the bank. Call 0332-0444166 for further information.
