Speaking to The Express Tribune, Saba revealed the purpose behind this workshop saying, “The idea is to facilitate the learner about practicalities related to the manufacturing of a designer handbag.”

Saba said, “Students need to learn how handbags can be designed, keeping different cultural trends in mind and how a blend of their own innovation can provide an ideal option for buyers.”

Regardless of that, the accessory market in Pakistan is flourishing and Saba believes that people are getting more fashion savy with time. “Accessories have become a necessary part of their lives and they feel incomplete without them”. She plans to have a second edition of this workshop by the end of July, this year at Thees, Zamzama.
On social media people who were a part of the workshop excitedly shared their handbag designs:
