It is the most viable way of connecting with the mass market and offering everyone a chance to buy into your brand without compromising on your quality or design. Apart from the distinctive Élan aesthetic, I feel this lawn collection is extremely high quality and each design comes with ample fabric for people to design their outfits without constraint. There is so much one can do with lawn and in the years to come, I would like to innovate more on the lawn front.”

In my interaction with the Kamal Lawn team, I felt their creative drive and I believe they have what it takes to be in this business for the long haul, providing the best while keeping functionality and artistic projections in their designs which are very apt for our market. Once I experienced their outfits first hand, I knew it was an excellent decision and am proud to be representing them!”
