Dhanak has become Pakistan’s favourite winter fabric for women because it combines warmth with a soft, elegant look. Here is everything you need to know before buying.
What is dhanak fabric?
Dhanak is a woven winter fabric with a small, raised texture on the surface. It feels softer than khaddar and drapes nicely, which is why it is used for embroidered and formal winter suits. “Airjet dhanak” refers to dhanak woven on air-jet looms for a more even, smooth finish.

- Heavy applique / full-front embroidery – statement suits for festive occasions.
