Pakistani arm-candy a la Mahin Hussain

Mahin Hussain never fails to put out an Independence Day line of handbags – probably because she’s just so good at making them! This year’s collection includes the jazzy sequined Pakistani flag clutch, also available in a smaller version and as a flag satchel. Other classics make a comeback: the note-clutch and the embroidered flag clutch.
In a new range, Mahin turns to the cities of Karachi and Lahore for inspiration. The ‘Karachi’ bag, is printed with an image of the Quaid’s mausoleum and the lyrics of the song ‘Bunder road se Kemari…’ Lahore’s design features the Minar-e-Pakistan and the self-explanatory declaration, ‘Lahore Lahore Aye’.
In pure leather, with Mahin’s well-honed aesthetics at play, these bags are so much better than the blingy ‘MK’ and ‘LV’ creations that unfathomably remain popular. Why look elsewhere when you’ve got such brilliant local designer creations, mostly available under the Rs 10,000 category? That’s a patriotic point to ponder for accessory aficionados.
