• The 3 Essential Abayas for Every Occasion

    An Abaya is more than just a modest garment—it’s an expression of cultural elegance and versatility. Traditionally worn by Muslim women, an abaya covers the body, leaving only the hands, feet, and face visible. While black is a classic colour, Abayas now come in many styles and shades, each tailored for different occasions.
