Hello Again

2009-04-05T06:25:00.001-07:00

We’re back with a new blog design, the old one just didn’t cut it. The blog is still partially under construction, so please pardon the many changes, tweaks and extras that may be added in the times to come.

In the mean time, please enjoy the feel of the blog and you’re welcome to look around into the archives for the sort of stuff that we offer.

In other Kurta Lane news, we’ve decided on the tagline “beautiful choices” which reflects the items we put forth up in here. Our kurtas are the result of meticulous and quirky designs, cheerful colors, and definitely one of a kind which you’ll never find anywhere else.

Our brother wanted the tagline to be called “bloody choices” but that’s hardly gonna fit in with Kurta Lane. Imagine this: Kurta Lane, bloody choices. Although that will definitely stick in people’s minds, we wouldn’t want people to mistaken us with some kind of cult now do we?

We’ll definitely post up new things for you soon. In fact, we’ve got jewelries next. Till then, stay bloody safe. Take care!

Greetings fellow customers!

We are proud to announce
that our final sketch is made Kurta Lane's official logo.!

These were our previous sketches (our final sketch was the second from top - which made it) :

As you can see, the title "Mabooha" was also put into consideration. However we thought that that "Kurta Lane" would give a clearer impression of what we are selling. .

Kurta Care Instructions

2008-09-05T16:25:00.000-07:00

Hi all. I just wanna touch a little on the way to care for your kurtas. Since the kurtas we have are mostly embroidered and some of it quite delicate, I'd like to share some care instructions so that your kurtas will have a more lasting life.

When washing

Wash with a mild detergent
Preferable to hand wash/dry clean
Extra care should be taken not to rub the embroidery with each other
Never leave any piece of embroidered clothing soaking or in water or lying in a pile when wet

When Ironing

Iron on the reverse side of the embroidery

Just on a side note, the garment itself is made out of cotton, and some polyester and they have no problem getting machine washed but the ones with embroidery are the ones needing special care. And though they may seem quite a high maintenance bunch, I assure you that all the special treatment you gave them will pay off when you put them on~~ :)

FAQ

2008-08-07T07:57:00.000-07:00

New ones will added in periodically.

1. Where are the kurtas from?

They’re all from Pakistan, from material to embroidery and we dare say that you won’t find anything similar to it because the designs are specially made for us.

2. How did you get them?

It used to be our dad who ships back hand-picked kurti from Pakistan. But since the bulk is getting bigger now, we get a supplier to send us the kurti.

3. What inspired you to sell kurtas?

Adilah says: When I first went to Pk, I started buying kurti and brought them back, wearing them for every occasion imaginable. Then people started asking about the kurti and asked me to bring back some for them. I did, and I did more after that.

Azim says: I was basically impressed with the quality and rare effect that the kurta portrays. When I first saw a woman trying out the kurta, the aura unleashed by the worn kurta was astonishing. From its unique embroidery to its magnificent cutting.

4. Do you have Maybank account?

Sorry, at the moment we don’t.

5. Do you do meet-ups?

Sorry, we only ship through mail.

Kurta 101

2008-07-16T06:01:00.000-07:00

I'm not sure if people know what kurta means, so here I'm just going to explain exactly what it means.

Kurta is basically a loose fitting piece of clothing, a top. It is long whereby the longest could be down to your knees. The shortest could be up to your thighs and this style is usually called a kurti (kurti also refers to feminine kurta). Kurtas originated from South Asia, in countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, India.

And according to Wikipedia,

"Imported kurtas were fashionable in the 1960s and 1970s, as an element of hippie fashion, fell from favor briefly, and are now again fashionable. South Asian women may also wear this Western adaptation of South Asian fashion.

Formal kurtas are usually custom-made by South Asian tailors, who work with the fabric their customers bring them. South Asians overseas, and Westerners, can buy them at South Asian clothing stores or order them from web retailers."

Cultural India says:

"There is an amazing variety of kurtas available at retail outlets, differing in their quality and weaving style. During the summer season, kurtas made up of light silk and cotton are in demand. While for winters, people usually look for heavy fabrics such as wool, Khadi silk or may a handspun. Buttons used in the designing are mostly wooden or plastic. Unlike other pieces of cloth, the buttons are not sewn; rather they are fastened into the cloth as per desire. These days, you can find real beautiful buttons in the market. Some of these buttons are even adorned with jewels and thus are a bit expensive. Thus, kurta is one of the trendiest pieces of clothing in today's times that is well liked by almost all the people."

"Kurta" Begins

2008-07-11T09:07:00.000-07:00

With respect to the best superhero flick of all time "Batman Begins", we would like to take the kurta business to a whole new level. Fyi Batman Begins was a saviour to the Batman franchise after a disastrous bat-nipple suit in "Batman and Robins (1998)". The case is similar in our business endeavour. Therefore it is our responsibility to portray the true beauty of Kurtas...a well kept secret of Pakistan and India.
