From Lahore to Gilgit: a traditional groom with cute faces

Valentine's gift · Gilgit · 2023By Arzish, maker at Polymer Hands

A bride and groom in traditional dress, with the groom’s hat and sword, all the way to Gilgit.

She ordered on 10 February from Gilgit, far from our studio in Lahore. We were honest that it would probably arrive a day or two after Valentine’s Day, and she was happy with that.

The design was a bride and groom in traditional wedding outfits, and she insisted on the groom’s traditional hat and a sword. Blank faces scared her a little, so we made cute cartoon faces instead and sent approval photos. She asked for her face to be rounder and the groom’s lips pinker, and we redid it the same day.

The mug reached Gilgit on 17 February, three days after Valentine’s, as agreed.

“It's here and I am in love. Thank you so much.”

“This is adorable. Thank you so much. We look cute.”
