Sky-high prices steal the spotlight from Eid 2026 collections | The Express Tribune
Latest collection of Khaadi, Ethnic, Image, Agha Noor has hit the market, full of glitz, glamour, sky-high prices
Khaadi Eid collection 2026 has hit the market, consisting of a mix of vibrant and modern cuts, while keeping the touch of Pakistani textile intact.
The designs consist of bold statement prints that are flashy, cultural, and an ode to the textiles of Pakistan. Embellished to the brim, these designs are versatile for both daytime and formal attire. But the talk of the town isn’t the cuts and color but its sky-high prices.
The prices don’t match the affordability and retail-friendly brand they once claimed to be and that has diverted the audience from their collection to look elsewhere.
Similarly, Ethnic new boutique drop has been making rounds on social media for its bold colors, ethnic embroidery, elegant silhouettes, and unique craftsmanship. Influencers all around Karachi are raving about it, but all compliments and design come short when it comes to their sky-high pricing.
The new collection is making it hard for people to consider buying the boutique drop and is prompting them to opt for unstitched clothes and other alternatives.
On the other hand, brands like Sana Safinaz have created a strong impact from their new collection and their take on RTW collection is more print-focused, versatile, fresh palette, and budget-friendly.
The collection might not scream eid but the floral prints and cutwork embroidery do scream affordability and variety in a market that is full of loud color prints.
