Show texture, finish and scale

Photograph the whole piece and close-ups of the weave, carving, stitching or finish. Add dimensions or a familiar size reference, and use natural light to show the real colours.

Explain the work behind the price

List materials you can identify, dimensions, care notes and whether the item is ready-made or made to order. Set the price in PKR and explain when a custom design needs a separate quote.

Confirm custom choices on WhatsApp

Ask the customer to confirm colour, size, pattern, quantity and any personalization. Share a sketch or progress photo only when you can provide it, and agree the final price and timeline in chat.

Protect the piece in transit

Choose packaging for the item’s weight, edges and fragility. Agree delivery or pickup and payment method before making a custom piece. Check the courier’s current coverage, handling and return process directly.

Be clear about handmade variation

Explain that handmade pieces may differ slightly from a photo and say which parts can vary. Avoid unsupported claims about origin, materials or traditional methods.
