Founded by Mariam, a second-generation immigrant in Canada, Shoperts was inspired by her struggle to find reliable vendors in Pakistan while living abroad. This market gap sparked the idea for a solution that would cater to the growing needs of the South Asian community in North America.

As a fellow South Asian, Mariam understands the deep-rooted connection to her cultural heritage, especially when it comes ethnic products. She’s witnessed first hand the increasing demand for culturally inspired goods among her friends and family, from clothing and accessories to homewares and wedding items. Leaning into her growing desire to bring a piece of 'home' to Canada, Mariam has created a platform that connects South Asians to the best of Pakistani craftsmanship.

With fond memories of visiting Pakistan, Mariam has always admired the country’s immense talent and potential and believes in the power of its people to create beautiful and meaningful products.

Shoperts is more than just a shopping platform; it’s a bridge between tradition and modernity. Our mission is to make it effortless for you to access the best of Pakistani fashion, no matter where you are.

Beyond providing a convenient shopping experience, Shoperts is committed to empowering women. Mariam, who comes from a human resources and corporate talent background, wanted to merge her professional expertise with her personal passion for solving this problem. She is dedicated to creating opportunities for women in visible minority groups to unleash their untapped potential. By supporting Pakistani artisans and businesses, Shoperts aims to contribute to the economic empowerment of women in Canada and Pakistan.
