5 HOW WE STARTED ACHIEVEMENTS SO FAR DESIGNER RECRUITMENT PORTAL ONLINE STORE PRODUCTION UNIT BUSINESS Our objective at BRANDS Just Pret was to first understand the challenges being faced by designers when stocking at different multi brand stores and to then devise and implement innovative systems and processes to turn these challenges into triumphs. What started as an informal discussion between Hadi, Somaya and Hasaah in a lounge one day, manifested itself into something more tangible only 3 months later when BRANDS Just Pret opened their first store at Dolmen Mall Clifton, Karachi. BRANDS Just Pret has achieved a lot in a very little time. Opening four stores in fourteen months, two of which are international, is an achievement of its own and something which no other multi brand store has been able to achieve thus far. BRANDS Just Pret has conducted more than 30 exhibitions and designer launches since inception at their stores and internationally in UK, India, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, USA, UAE and more. The brand has also participated at the prestigious Pakistan Fashion Week (PFW) platform in London in November 2012, Karachi Fashion Week (KFW) in January 2013 and will be participating in Bridal Couture Week (BCW) scheduled to be held in Karachi in April As a manifestation of their commitment to remain dynamic, BRANDS Just Pret introduced an extremely unique initiative, the pioneering Designer Recruitment Portal, which allows young and upcoming designers to register for a chance to be given retail space at BRANDS Just Pret s outlets if selected. At BRANDS Just Pret, we were the first Pakistani multi brand store to launch a national and global online shopping service through our online store. Clients can order anything from BRANDS Just Pret online and have it delivered to their doorsteps, anywhere in the world. Our most recent major addition to the family of BRANDS Just Pret services is the state of the art Production Unit Business (PUB) which was formed keeping in mind young fashion graduates who usually do not have huge investments to start their own production units and workshops. Through economies of scale, the BRANDS Just Pret PUB provides an opportunity to fashion designers to manufacture their products at affordable prices under strict quality control measures.our most recent major addition to the family of BRANDS Just Pret services is the state of the art PUB which was formed keeping in mind young fashion graduates who usually do not have huge investments to start their own production units and workshops.

Our sampling team takes the lead in this step by documenting all minute details during the workshop arranged with the designer. Once the requirements are understood, the tailors get to work and prepare the sampleas per the initial documented requirements. The sample is then Quality Assured by our Quality Controllers. After the sample is created and quality assured by the quality controllers, a workshop is arranged with the designer where the design and sampling team unveil the prepared prototype. Once the sample is approved by the designer,we receive and document the order from the designer and provide cost and time to deliver. Our Production Managers lead this step onwards. The Production Managers manage the entire process from purchasing to the actual development of the entire order. Once the Production is completed, the final quality assurance is performed and the shipment is packed and delivered at the shipping address. Project Management & Quality Control across the two phases in all steps. 8

FRANCHISING - WHY REINVENT THE WHEEL? There are many entrepreneurs that have exactly what it takes to run a successful business but don t have what it takes to get their business up and running.

8 FRANCHISING - WHY REINVENT THE WHEEL? There are many entrepreneurs that have exactly what it takes to run a successful business but don t have what it takes to get their business up and running. Whether it be financing, negotiating lease terms or even the confidence it takes to quit their job and start their own business. Buying a franchise eliminates all the hard work: finding a location, negotiating a lease, hiring reliable contractors and doing all this on-time and within budget. When you buy a BRANDS Just Pret franchise you are buying a complete turnkey business. After opening four stores in nearly fourteen months, BRANDS Just Pret has now opened up the opportunity for franchising, assisting entrepreneurs in running their own Multi Brand retail business in the glamorous fashion industry. When you buy a BRANDS Just Pret franchise you buy a complete system. BRANDS Just Pret franchise has an already-established system in place that you must follow. These systems are designed to improve the overall productivity and increase sales of each BRANDS Just Pret franchise. Having a proven BRANDS Just Pret system already in place eliminates the guesswork and errors a common business owner would normally face.
