Khaadi has lived up to its name and is now a hot spot for all cotton lovers.The excellent thread work and the color combinations are out of this world. Khaadi is responsible for giving a formal look to cotton clothes which were otherwise considered to be wore for the evenings, never to a wedding. The self embrideried fabric can now be seen in most of the weddings in the summers, especially with the mercury on the rise all the time.
Khaadi has also introduced colorful Kurtas for men, with stripes and solid colors. The combination of kurtas and stripes is very pleasing to eyes However, the price can be labeled as high for a simple cotton suit. Not everyone will agree that paying a good Rs 3,000 on cotton outfit is worth it.
Another entry at Khaadi are the the slippers and wallets, that can be matched with your clothes.It gives a good effect and have neutral colors in eye catching designs. Hence one pair can be matched with several outfits.
Threads & Motifs is a very new entry, with one branch, right at the beginning of Bahadurabad Chowrangi & the other one at Zamzama. It is giving stiff competition to the existing fabric shops. I havent visited this shop yet but from what I can see, the mannequin dresses are very eye catching and the colors used are very different. The bead and thread work looks good, but to be sure you need to go inside the shop, that I havent been able to do so yet

Khaadi stuff is good quality but I didn't like their kurti collection last time I was there. I agree, it's old school. I really loved Threadz which also sells good quality kurtis, belts and other stuff. Very nice collection.

I love Motifs
Shopped there when I was in Lahore. They have Fabric by the yard like Bareeze' does but the difference is their fabric is mostly hand embroidered instead of machine embroidered like Bareeze'.
I have gotten a lot of compliments on the fabric I got from Motifs

^lol awww. yea, when buying it's easy to just buy all the ones that you like/see yourself wearing but if you look at everything objectively, it would be too much of the same.
maybe you could use some to give to people as presents that you have to give when you get married?
