 Executive Summery
Stone Age is a brand identified by its progressive, cutting edge borderline funk
that has been inspired by the growing need for an urban youth trend movement. We design with
an edgy creativity while focusing on modern lines and sleek fits. Each and every item out of our
denim/casual-wear collection has been designed and tailored with the confident sassy young
men and women of today in mind, bringing out their inner freedom.
Stone age is a part of Crescent Bahuman Ltd, one of the country's leading denim
exporters boasting a clientele as versatile as Levi's®, Mustang, Bensherman and Xpress Ltd. In
less than two years (the first branch opened its doors in March, 2006), Stone Age has become
the leader in how denim trends are dictated in Lahore and Karachi (where we have four outlets)
and we are further venturing into Islamabad, Multan, Sialkot and Faisalabad. Stone Age is a one-
of-its-kind brand as it has recruited the very best denim design talent in the country to lead the
way in creating for the discerning masses, thus ensuring quality, exclusivity and accredited style.
 Denim History
Jeans are trousers traditionally made from denim, but may also be made from a
variety of fabrics particularly including corduroy. Originally intended for work, they became
popular among teenagers starting in the 1950's. Historic brands include Levi's, Jordache, and
Wrangler. Today jeans are a very popular form of casual dress around the world and come in
many styles and colors, with the "blue jeans" particularly identified with the American culture,
especially the American Old West. The earliest known precursor to jeans is the Indian export of a
thick cotton cloth, in the 16th century, known as dungaree. Dyed in indigo, it was sold near the
Dongarii Fort near Bombay. Sailors cut it to suit them.
Jeans fabric was made in Chieri, a town near Turin (Italy), already in 1600's. It
was sold through the harbour of Genoa that was the capital of an independent republic, and a
naval power. The first were made for the Genoese Navy because it required all-purpose pants for
its sailors that could be worn wet or dry, and whose legs could easily be rolled up to wear while
swabbing the deck. These jeans would be laundered by dragging them in large mesh nets behind
the ship, and the sea water would bleach them white. According to many people the jeans name
comes from blue de Genes, i.e. blue of Genoa. The raw material was coming from the city of
Nîmes (France) de Nîmes i.e. denim.

 Vision Statement
As a premier authority on denim-wear in Pakistan, Stone Age has become an
indisputable ringleader on how trends and fads are done in the blue. With over four already
operating outlets in Pakistan, two under construction and three more ready to set trends ablaze
by the upcoming season, it's only a matter of time before the brand goes international. Stone age
will soon launch itself on a whole new level of foreign revival by branching out in bustling centers
of all commercial and fashion related activities like Dubai, London and India within the next two
years.
 Mission statement
Whether inspired by punk rock, go-getting glam, funk or urban street culture,
Stone Age aims to empower the young with a fashion statement to emancipate and liberate.
Dressing up the cool and toning down the convention, Stone age enhances a trend culture honed
in on what the rebels of today crave: street smart threads on a whole new scale of attitude re-
born.
