Ansab Jahangir UK: The Designer, the Sister Who Became a Partner & Our Sakeena London Deal
Most articles about Ansab Jahangir repeat the same line — "luxury pret and bridal couture" — without ever naming the person behind it, how the business actually grew, or what happened when our own team sat down with the brand to bring it to the UK. This guide pulls together verified facts most coverage skips, plus a first-hand account of our own dealings with the brand.
Who Is Ansab Jahangir?
Ansab Jahangir is a Pakistani fashion designer and the founder of her eponymous label, based originally in Karachi. According to her own account in a Dawn newspaper interview, she built her brand's early success specifically around digital visibility — deliberately collaborating with Lahore-based fashion bloggers so her label wouldn't be perceived as Karachi-only, a strategic choice that most designer profiles never mention.
Her label is now widely recognized for regal silhouettes, intricate hand embellishment, and a soft, romantic colour palette, sold through major multi-designer retailers across Pakistan and internationally, including shipping to the USA, UK, and UAE.
The Sister Who Started Temporary and Became a Business Partner
Here's a detail almost no product listing mentions: Ansab Jahangir isn't a solo operation. Her sister, Zoha Shakir (also reported in some sources as Zoha Danial), originally joined the business on a temporary basis to help manage rapid growth — and ended up staying permanently. In Ansab's own words, "we are now partners in the business." That makes Ansab Jahangir a two-sister operation at its core, not a single-founder label, a structural fact that's completely absent from nearly every other write-up of the brand.
One transparency note worth flagging: a 2026 Behance profile lists a "Shehryar Adil" as the owner of an Ansab Jahangir-related profile. This conflicts with established interviews and reporting — including Ansab's own on-record account — that consistently identify Ansab Jahangir and her sister as the label's founders and partners. Third-party portfolio sites like Behance aren't always reliably maintained or verified, so we're going with the founder's own, directly sourced account rather than an unverified listing.
By the brand's five-year mark (as of a 2020 interview), the label had grown from a following built on bloggers and "society it-girls" into a name associated with genuine star power — with actress Ayeza Khan among the celebrities frequently seen wearing the label.
Has Ansab Jahangir Won Any Awards?
Here's where we're being precise rather than inflating a claim: Ansab Jahangir was listed among the nominees for the 24th Lux Style Awards in the fashion design category — one of Pakistan's most prestigious entertainment and fashion honours. We could not independently confirm a formal win from an official Lux Style Awards results announcement, so rather than claim a victory that isn't verified, we're reporting exactly what's confirmed: a nomination at one of the industry's top award shows, which is itself a meaningful marker of industry recognition.
Our Sakeena London Business Meeting and Stocking Agreement
Before listing Ansab Jahangir on our platform, our Sakeena London team held a direct business meeting with the brand to discuss stocking terms and set up a formal supply arrangement — not a cold wholesale order placed sight unseen. This meeting laid the groundwork for the contract that now lets us bring genuine Ansab Jahangir pieces to our UK customers, rather than sourcing through unverified third-party resellers.
What We Saw During Our Factory Visit
Beyond the business meeting, our team also visited the production facility in person, where Komal Khan, who manages customer services at the factory, personally walked us through the operation. She gave us a proper presentation on the fabric itself, showed us the machine work behind the pieces, and let us see the production team's process directly — including how quality checks are carried out at each stage before a piece is finished. Watching the embroidery, stitching, and quality-check process directly — rather than relying on product photography alone — gave us confidence in the hand-embellishment quality the brand is known for, and it's why we're comfortable standing behind every piece we sell as genuine, verified stock.
Ansab Jahangir Collections: What the Brand Is Known For
Ansab Jahangir Resort '26 — Collection
Resort '26 is Ansab Jahangir's warm-weather kaftan and resort-wear line, built primarily on chamois silk and raw silk. Pieces like Serien and Vela — sand-toned kaftans with dolman sleeves and V-necklines, finished with delicate shell-embellished drawstring detailing — lean into a "coastal charm" aesthetic that's distinct from the brand's heavier pret and bridal lines. Other pieces in the collection, like Munira, Lorain, and Saarina, use raw silk with embellished detailing in a more structured shirt silhouette. It's positioned for warm-weather travel, resort occasions, and relaxed summer dressing rather than formal or wedding wear.
At Sakeena London, Resort '26 is in stock, with fast UK delivery and 24/7 WhatsApp support if you need sizing guidance before you order.

Ansab Jahangir Summer Kaftans — Collection
Summer Kaftans is Ansab Jahangir's dedicated kaftan category, pulling together the brand's most relaxed silhouette across chamois silk and raw silk. Pieces like Vela and Serien set the tone — sand-toned kaftans with dolman sleeves, flattering V-necklines, and delicate shell-embellished drawstring details that lean into a coastal, resort-elegant feel rather than the brand's usual regal formality. It's the category to go to when you want Ansab Jahangir's craftsmanship in an easy, single-piece silhouette rather than a shirt-and-bottom set.
At Sakeena London, Summer Kaftans are in stock, with fast UK delivery and 24/7 WhatsApp support if you need sizing guidance before you order.

Ansab Jahangir The Rani Edit — Collection 
The Rani Edit sits closer to bridal territory than Ansab Jahangir's everyday pret lines, built almost entirely in raw silk with dense, traditional hand-embellishment. Sidra pairs an ivory-and-rust long shirt and izaar with rust appliqué work finished in sequins, gota, and cut dana, while another kalidaar kurta piece in white raw silk carries paisley motifs embroidered in moti, nakshi, sequins, and tiki stones, paired with a white-and-gold Banarasi dupatta. Other designs in the collection mix screen-printed motifs with gold kaam, gota, moti, and cut dana across kurtas and front-open jackets. It's positioned for nikkah, mehndi, barat, and reception wear — heavier and more traditional than the brand's resort or pret lines.
At Sakeena London, The Rani Edit is in stock, with every piece custom-stitched to your exact measurements before shipping. Fast UK delivery and 24/7 WhatsApp support are included if you need sizing guidance ahead of your event.
