About The Side Project

TheSideProject has been born as a creative offshoot, a small label and offspace that fosters artistic expression with its unique blend of architecture and design.

TheSideProject offers unconventional ideas, minimal and bold designs made in-house. All designs are produced under the care and expertise of artisanal craftsmanship, tracing all its steps proudly in Pakistan. Currently the label offers a small and carefully curated range of handcrafted shoes and bags.

The Founder

Raasmia Minal Haque is both an architect and footwear designer based in Karachi, Pakistan. Haque has been formally trained in her disciplines at the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture, Karachi, at Polimoda in Florence, Italy, and at the University of Arts London.
