Clearance Watch Day 1: Azadi's Over — 67,910 Discounts Aren't

15 August 2026

Yesterday we promised the "post-Azadi clearance watch" would start today — so here's Day 1.

First surprise: August 14 has passed, and X replies under #AzadiSale say "sale's over" — but the data disagrees. As of this morning, 67,910 items are still discounted (68,255 yesterday — a drop of just 345). The banners are coming down; the price cuts aren't.

This morning's board (average genuine discount):

• Gul Ahmed — 13,596 items @ -44%
• Limelight — 11,079 @ -34%
• Nishat Linen — 5,023 @ -44%
• Khaadi — 2,942 @ -43% · Sapphire — 2,647 @ -39%

What's next? The pattern from past years: a quiet Aug 17-20 window where brands push leftover stock to -60/-70% without any banners. We'll update this watch every morning — first to spot it wins. 😉

Set price alerts on your wishlist — you'll know the moment a drop lands.
