Riffat & Sana is a Pakistani fashion label known for raw silk suits, velvet kameez sets, and finely tailored shalwar kameez. Their clothing is available in the UK through Hina Rasim, with three-piece suits, dupatta sets, and formal occasion wear delivered directly to British addresses.
Who Are Riffat & Sana
Riffat & Sana is a Lahore-based Pakistani fashion label that has been dressing women across South Asia for decades. The brand is built around a consistent set of values: premium fabrics, clean silhouettes, and craftsmanship that holds up both in person and in photographs. Their work sits in the formal and semi-formal segment of the Pakistani clothing market, covering occasions that require something more considered than everyday wear but stopping short of full bridal weight.
What makes Riffat & Sana recognizable across collections is their approach to fabric. They work extensively in raw silk, which gives their suits a natural texture and weight that synthetic alternatives cannot replicate. Their velvet pieces carry the same commitment to fabric quality, using properly structured velvet rather than the lighter synthetic versions common in cheaper occasion wear.
Among British Pakistani women who buy Pakistani designer clothing regularly, Riffat & Sana is a familiar name. The label is trusted for delivering a consistent standard across seasons, which matters when you are spending a meaningful amount on formal wear for a specific occasion.
What Is in This Collection
The Riffat & Sana collection at Hina Rasim covers their core range of formal and semi-formal clothing for women. The selection includes raw silk three-piece suits, velvet kameez sets, embroidered shalwar kameez, and dupatta sets across a range of occasion weights.
Their raw silk three-piece suits are among the most consistent sellers in the range. Raw silk has a natural drape and a slight texture to the weave that sets it apart from smoother silks. When paired with a matching dupatta in the same fabric, the result is a polished, complete look suited to formal dinners, Walima events, and evening celebrations. These are three-piece suits with a dupatta where the full set has been considered as a single outfit rather than separate pieces that happen to match.
The velvet kameez suits in this collection are designed for autumn and winter occasions in the UK, where the fabric weight suits the climate and the richness of the velvet reads beautifully in indoor event lighting. Expect deep tones: navy, bottle green, burgundy, and aubergine are typical palette choices across their velvet range.
For the most recently added pieces from this label, the latest arrivals section is kept up to date as new Riffat & Sana stock comes in.
Who Should Buy Riffat & Sana
Riffat & Sana suits women who want formal occasion wear that is well-made, recognizable to those who follow Pakistani fashion, and versatile enough to wear at more than one type of event.
For Walima attendees, a Riffat & Sana raw silk suit is an ideal choice. The fabric weight and the clean tailoring sit at exactly the right formality level for a Walima, whether you are close family or a wedding guest. The pieces are not understated, but they do not compete with the bride either.
For formal dinners and evening events in the UK, their velvet kameez suits and silk separates work well in mixed settings. The tailoring is precise enough that these pieces read as formal wear regardless of whether the other guests are wearing Pakistani or Western clothing.
For Eid celebrations and engagement parties, their lighter silk and cotton blend pieces offer a step up from casual shalwar kameez without the full weight of heavy bridal embellishment. These are the pieces that offer practical wear value across multiple occasions.

Fabric and Craftsmanship
Riffat & Sana works primarily in raw silk, velvet, chiffon, and fine cotton. Each fabric choice in their range is made with the end occasion in mind rather than for cost efficiency. Raw silk is their signature material, and the quality across their silk range is consistently above what you find at a similar price point from less established labels.
Their embellishment work ranges from subtle thread embroidery on necklines and cuffs to more detailed stonework and hand-applied embellishments on their formal occasion pieces. The designer kameez and shalwar sets in this collection feature embroidery that is proportionate to the garment, applied in a way that adds detail without making the piece feel heavy or overdone.
Finishing across Riffat & Sana clothing is reliable. Linings are properly attached, seam work is clean, and the overall construction reflects a label that has been producing formal wear for long enough to have resolved the common quality issues. For UK buyers, their sizing generally follows standard South Asian measurements, so reviewing the size information on individual product listings before ordering is advised.
