Television actress Dipika Kakar Ibrahim, widely admired for her roles in Indian serials, ventured into the fashion world in late 2024 with the launch of her clothing brand, Label DKI. Co-founded with her husband Shoaib Ibrahim, the brand aimed to bring Indian ethnic wear to life by reflecting Dipika’s personal fashion sensibilities. However, recent reports indicate that the venture may have come to an unexpected halt.
Label DKI—an acronym for Dipika Kakar Ibrahim—entered the market with significant enthusiasm. The brand showcased various collections, including “Daily Pehnava,” “Kuch Khaas,” “Tyohaaron ke Liye,” and “Label DKI Brides.” Dipika had earlier shared that each piece was designed to mirror her unique sense of style, combining traditional Indian wear with a touch of modern flair.
Despite the promising launch, the brand soon faced backlash from customers. Criticism surfaced online, especially concerning the product pricing and design originality. Social media platforms saw many fans pointing out that similar designs were readily available in local markets at much lower prices. These remarks hinted at a possible mismatch between consumer expectations and what the brand offered.
Coinciding with these challenges, Dipika was also participating in the reality show Celebrity MasterChef. Unfortunately, she had to withdraw due to a muscle spasm in her shoulder, which impacted her health and ability to continue in the competition. This setback added further strain to her professional endeavors.
Currently, neither Dipika nor Shoaib has issued an official statement regarding the closure of Label DKI. Nonetheless, reports suggest the brand has halted operations. The precise reasons remain speculative, though it’s believed that a combination of negative customer feedback and operational challenges played a role.
Fans are now left wondering if Label DKI will return in a revamped form or if the closure is permanent.
Dipika Kakar Ibrahim’s journey into fashion through Label DKI showcased her entrepreneurial drive and her wish to connect with fans beyond television. Though the brand encountered hurdles, it also shed light on the competitive and demanding nature of the fashion industry. Whether or not Label DKI stages a comeback, Dipika’s pursuit of her passions continues to resonate with her loyal fanbase.
