We are expecting the same boom now which was during the pre-pandemic season.  Also, the current and upcoming festive season of Eid will elevate many brands’ potential in terms of buying, store visits, and online hits”, said Khurram Rafique, Director of NICOLI – an upmarket boutique renowned for it’s luxury fashion footwear and bag collections.
