In pictures: Scenes you may have missed from Karachi's French Bazaar

The annual French Bazaar, held at the Alliance Francaise de Karachi, has become a haven for indie crafts

18 Jan, 2016

Do Karachiites really need a reason to gather under the winter sun?

Not really, but the French Bazaar at the Alliance Francaise de Karachi pulled the least sociable of people out of their homes this weekend.

The gardens of the premises became the site for stalls and shoppers

Here's what went was on offer at the French Bazaar:

Can we tire of truck art? The Gul Khan Shop jazzed up tea gear in vivid designs

Kettles like these would make a great gift for tea swigging friends and family

And truck art kohlapuris are pretty much a desi wardrobe staple

What's a French Bazaar without artisanal bread? Slice of Life offered baguettes, croissants and more

More artsy things: From hand-painted mosaic art to calligraphic plates and wall clocks, there was something for everyone

For those looking for a horticultural bargain, the cactus plants were a sight for sore eyes

Some kundun jewellery was also up for grabs

Organic beauty products also got the passersby's attention

There's no better place than a garden to display cane furniture

T2F brought goodies from its Faraar Shop, which is always a hit

Spotted! Writer Bina Shah was at the French Bazaar

And so was Mahira Khan - here she is showing support to the do-gooders of Patient's Helping Hands – Photo courtesy PHH's Facebook page

No visible French people or foreigners. So the Pakistani displays are showcased for Pakistanis?
