Business with Pakistani suppliers

1POSTS

Hi Everyone,

My name is Serena and I'm new to this forum. To be honest, I must say that I don't live in Pakistan (but in Spain), neither have the intention (at least by the moment) of moving there, so I expect not to offend anyone (also my apologies for my poor english)...

The case is that I'd like open a small shop and sell, amongst other things, Kuchi Tribal Jewellery, but all suppliers I've found seem to be in Pakistan. However, when I try to contact 'em I got no response...is it maybe because I'm a woman?

¿Could I try to travel there and search for providers by myself? What city in Pakistan would be the best for that? Can anyone help me in any way?

Thank you in advance

Hi serena it is good to see you here welcome first of all in jewelry business you should contact the business owners not individuals after confirm contact you need came to pakistan to check the variety and all kind of price and warranty etc. this is not possible that an individual can help you from here. i have been in London for 2 years i know the taste of europeans while there is a big difference between pakistan and europeans traditions and liking dislikings. So you should be sharp minded and clear other wise you can face a big loss over there. i pray you succeed in business

Hello Serina,

The type of jewelery you have shown interest in is generally classified as " Junk Jewelery" of " Artificial Jewelery" in Pakistan. This is manufactured in small scale cottage industries in the suburbs of urban areas of most major cities.

I do not suggest you need to visit Pakistan, you should enter into correspondence with some good manufacturers and exchange photos and samples.

There are 2 major exhibitions on artificial jewelery every year organised by Export Promotion Bureau. I suggest you get in touch with them.
