Bags, jewellery and shawls chosen to finish an outfit, not compete with it.

18k gold-plated brass and freshwater pearl. Nickel-free, every piece.

Heels, flats and sandals with a padded footbed as standard.

Women's Footwear

Goodyear-welted leather and cupsole sneakers, resoleable.

Men's Footwear

A wrap that actually stays wrapped — there is an inner tie as well as the outer one, so the neckline does not travel through the day. Viscose with a fluid drape.

The sleeve is puffed at the head and finished with a narrow band, which keeps the volume from collapsing.

One size, worn a dozen ways. Open-weave cotton in a loose gauge, with a fringe knotted by hand along both edges — about 240 knots per piece.

Light enough for an over-air-conditioned office, warm enough for a Northern evening. It packs down to nothing.

Open-weave cotton poncho with a hand-knotted fringe. One size, 96 cm across, packs flat.

The layer that makes a plain shirt look considered. Cotton-blend rather than pure wool, because a pure-wool vest is unwearable in Karachi nine months of the year.

Ribbed at the neck, armhole and hem so it sits flat and does not roll. Cut to end just below the waistband.

Sleeveless cotton-blend knit vest with ribbed neck, armhole and hem. Layers over shirting.

Sahar Ribbed Knit Vest — Ilaaf

Our tailoring block in a colour that is harder to get right than black. The ivory is a wool-blend suiting with a tight weave, so it holds a press and does not shadow at the seat.

The blazer is half-lined for weight, single-breasted, with a soft shoulder. Trousers are flat-front with a clean hem — we ship them unfinished at 84 cm so your tailor can set the break.

Ivory wool-blend blazer and flat-front trouser set. Half-lined, soft shoulder, hem ships unfinished.

Inaya Tailored Co-ord Set — Ilaaf Atelier

Inaya Tailored Co-ord Set

Matched blazer and trouser in ivory wool-blend suiting.

Deliberately oversized — the shoulder is dropped 4 cm past where it would sit on a fitted shirt, which is what gives it the fall. Wear it open over a vest or buttoned with the sleeves pushed.

Poplin is mercerised, so it takes a press and keeps a slight sheen. Buttons are corozo, not plastic.

Mercerised cotton poplin shirt with a dropped shoulder, corozo buttons and a curved hem.

Amal Oversized Poplin Shirt — Ilaaf

Amal Oversized Poplin Shirt

Cotton poplin shirt cut two sizes wide, with a dropped shoulder.

Cotton voile, which is the lightest weave we will put a lace yoke on without it puckering. The sleeve is blouson through the arm and gathered into a narrow buttoned cuff, so it has volume where you want it and none where you do not.

The lace is cotton, not synthetic — it softens with washing instead of going scratchy.

Cotton voile blouse with a cotton lace yoke, blouson sleeves and a tie hem. Machine washable.

Yasmin Lace-Trim Blouse — Ilaaf

Yasmin Lace-Trim Blouse
