Lafabrica is the oldest & the leading fabric retail store in the capital city of Islamabad. It dates back to 1975 when it was established by it’s founder Haji Ghulam Hussein and co-founder Mohammad Iftikhar Ahmad as Shimla Cloth House. Previously, until 1973 it used to be owned by Lawrencepur and was sold to Shimla Cloth House in 1979.

Since then their commitment and devotion to serve people with complete range of quality fabrics, along with providing latest fashion trends is definitely worth-noting. It is currently operating under the directives of its new CEO Bilal Ahmed.

La Fabrica is a clothing super market catering to the needs of men and women, as it carries all major national and international brands. Predominantly, it had only Lawrencepur fabrics then later it became diversified, bringing in newer and popular brands.
