CORE VISION:

It was a long journey getting where we are now, the core focus is the drive to help uphold the modesty and simply elegant style of Abayas. Retaining the culture with a specific personal touch of the individual, we see to it that the quality and design of the garments is pure and fine.

HISTORY OF ABAYA:

The history of the abaya is vague and unclear, but it is believed that it has existed for more than 4,000 years. Historical evidence points towards its use by ancient civilizations, especially the Mesopotamians who wore clothing that was long and as loose as the abaya of today.

In most Arabian cultures like Qatar and other parts of the Muslim world where the abaya has become quite the norm as a representation of religious devotion and a symbol of the Arabian culture, it is mostly black in colour, though some colour variations can be seen amidst all black. Since the abaya is the only garment seen on those that wear it, with time, it has evolved into somewhat of a fashion statement as well, with many different designs and variations now available in the market.

In the era before the Arab world became oil-rich, a Bedouin belonging to the upper class would wear a black abaya called the ‘laff that was square-shaped with two holes for the hands (this would hide the arms) and had a wide golden trim around the neckline area.

Towards the end of the 1970s, the abayas did not cover the whole body. In fact, they were bunched up at the waist area and one side was tucked under the arm, such that the clothes worn on the lower part of the body were visible.

Experimentation continued with different types and weights of silk and different styles of embroidery and decorations on the abaya were also introduced. Crepes, chiffons and georgettes were also used because they were flowy.  the abaya continued to evolve and in the 1990s, though the basic style and shape of the abaya remained the same, more embroidery and decorations like lace, stones that could be ironed on become a norm.

Today, the abaya is not just a body covering garment, it has transcended mere functionality and become an expression of individualism as well as acquired a standing of its own. Abaya designers have taken the abaya to a whole new level with emphasis on global fashion trends along with an awareness of changes in the environment and the world in general.
