Mausummery Sale

Everyone was eagerly waiting for the end of season Mausummery sale and was excited to see the banners splashed all over Islamabad today morning. It was sooner then expected.  I know it has become a crowd pulling trend to write “upto 50% discount” but after last year’s “real” sale we decided to check this out.

A common citizen like me normally tries to avoid the security checks one has to face at Marriott. But after bearing with the  barriers, hurdles, sniffing dogs and machine screening we walked a long way past those huge gates to reach the real Marriott building. Anyway, lets talk about the exhibition.

Those of you are planning to visit the sale in next two days (4th ans 5th July 2010) I would like to tell you there are a few new prints only. Rest are the left overs of the previous exhibition. I like the new ones but what puts you off is that there is nothing like sale. A few prints of dopattas are at 50% and this is termed as sale. Price for the new ones  is still in the range of Rs 1100(plus) to Rs 2200( this includes patches of embroidery and prints) which is a little less then original price.

I have seen true Mausummery fans coming out with hands full but the rest were a little disappointed.
