About Libas e Khas
Pakistani designer wear, without the guesswork
Anyone in the UK who has tried to order a Pakistani designer outfit knows the three worries: is it genuine, will it fit, and will it arrive before the event. Everything we do is built to answer yes to all three.
Our Story
It started with a problem he kept hearing about
Muhammad Iqbal graduated in computer science, but his working life has been spent inside Pakistani fashion. Before founding Libas e Khas, he worked with leading Pakistani houses including Sana Safinaz and Crimson, learning the unglamorous side of the trade: how fabric is judged at production, what separates genuine designer work from a convincing copy, and how a piece travels from the mill to the tailor's table.
On a visit to his brother in the UK, he kept meeting British-Pakistani families with the same story. They wanted authentic designer outfits for weddings and Eid, but ordering from Pakistan meant risking replicas, unpredictable customs bills, and delivery dates that slipped past the event itself.
He went back to Pakistan and built Libas e Khas to be that middle: a multi-brand store that sources directly from designers, checks every piece with a trained eye, stitches it to your measurements, and delivers it to your door in the UK, the USA and beyond. He built the website himself, because he understood the designers and the customers better than any agency would.
What We Do Differently
Built around the three risks of buying from abroad
Direct designer partnerships
We source from the designers themselves — original pieces with original tags and packaging, never replicas or grey-market stock.
Video before dispatch
Before your order ships, we film it. You see the actual fabric, embroidery and finish of your outfit, not a catalogue photo.
Made-to-measure stitching
Outfits are stitched to your measurements by tailors who work with these fabrics daily — no size-chart guessing games.
Tracked express delivery
We ship with DHL and SkyNet Express to the UK, the USA and worldwide, with honest timelines told to you before you pay.
Real humans on WhatsApp
Sizing doubts, occasion advice, availability checks — message us before ordering and a person who knows the stock answers.
Outlet pick-up service
Seen an outfit in a designer's outlet in Pakistan? We can purchase it on your behalf, quality-check it and deliver it to your door.
From Lahore to Your Door
How your order actually happens
-
You choose, we advise
Browse the site or message us on WhatsApp. We'll tell you honestly if a piece runs small, feels heavy for an all-day event, or won't arrive in time — even if that means you buy something else.
-
We source and verify
Your outfit comes directly from the designer and is checked for fabric quality, embroidery and finishing before it goes anywhere near a courier.
-
Stitched to your measurements
For unstitched and made-to-order pieces, our tailoring team stitches to the measurements you provide, so the outfit is made for you, not a mannequin.
-
Filmed, then dispatched
We record a video of your finished outfit before it ships. Once you've seen it, it leaves with DHL or SkyNet Express, fully tracked to your doorstep.
Honest Timelines
How long it really takes
Different outfits take different routes, and we'd rather tell you the truth here than apologise later. If your event is close, tell us the date on WhatsApp before you order and we'll say plainly whether it's achievable.
Ready-to-ship pret
In-stock, ready-made pieces. The right choice when the event is soon.
Unstitched, with stitching
Unstitched fabric, tailored to your measurements before dispatch.
Made-to-order couture
Pieces the designer makes from scratch — bridal and heavy formals. Worth the wait, but plan for it.
