The flagship store has opened at Center Point Shopping Mall, a well-known retail destination in the capital. The store features Maria B’s latest collections and highlights a blend of contemporary fashion with traditional Pakistani craftsmanship.
A Milestone for Pakistani Fashion
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Maria Butt, Founder and Chief Designer of Maria B, described the occasion as deeply meaningful. She said opening the brand’s first international store in Bangladesh had long been a personal goal. She emphasized the strong connection the brand shares with customers across the region.
Maria Butt stated that the brand aims to offer Bangladeshi women a refined mix of Pakistani culture and modern design. She added that the store reflects the brand’s commitment to quality, elegance, and innovation.
Strengthening Regional Fashion Ties
The opening ceremony attracted a large and diverse audience. Guests included representatives from Bangladesh’s fashion industry, social media influencers, and fashion enthusiasts. The store saw strong footfall from the first day, signaling high consumer interest.
Fashion industry experts believe Maria B’s expansion will strengthen commercial and cultural ties between Pakistan and Bangladesh. They say the move could encourage greater collaboration within the South Asian fashion industry.
