Living outside Pakistan, any subtle or obvious reference to Pakistan, naturally catches our attention and make us feel proud.
In US at least I’ve noticed that if you go to any large retail place, you are guaranteed to see at least two items related to Pakistan. One is a made in Pakistan ‘soccer ball’ and other are the music CDs of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Occasionally one also comes across textile items from Pakistan.
Recently I’ve also seen books related to Benazir Bhutto se
lling in front shelves of book stores across US, Canada and China. I am sure same is the case in many other countries too.
Tonight I was walking with my family in a large retail store in rural Missouri when we came across this whole section of towels which were made in Pakistan (see both photos). I was happily surprised and bought one.
What items have you seen with ‘Made in Pakistan’ label?
@Deb
Perhaps the washing powder is ‘Made in India’ (!)
On a serious note, I doubt it’s the material that is at fault. May be the packaging in which it was brought to US had something to do with that.
My son bought some “South Pole” jean shorts at JC Penneys. They are mens shorts. They say made in Pakistan. My question is if anyone knows how to get the overpowering smell out of the material. The odor is so strong even after laundering you can smell them. Any answers???
does any one know where the brand Hollister made in pakistan? if u you guys do pls email me at ssaeed07@gmail.com…………. thnks
i work at wal mart. i’m always surprised to see kids clothes, sporting goods, and domestics there that are made in Pakistan. when i go shopping w/my family in JcPenny, Burlingtion Coat Factory, Kohl’s and Macy’s i’m starving to see something that is made in Pakistan. Mostly, i see leather jackets and menswear that is made in Pakistan. i just feel really proud of me, but don’t know why. that is the amazing part of the whole day then.
My husband’s jacket was bought here in the USA, NJ to be more precise. It wasn’t until it required cleaning that I checked the labeling to see if it could be washed or had to be dry cleaned. Immediately, I noticed that it was made in Pakistan! A very nice and well-made jacket at that! And, it is machine washable!
