The Gulf standard. A lightweight polyester blend, soft and breathable, with an elegant drape and a subtle sheen or matte finish.
Abaya manufacturer in Madinat Zayed
We make the abayas we sell. In Abu Dhabi, since 1990.
Ready-to-wear from AED 70, made-to-measure from AED 100 — manufacturer prices, because nobody sits in between. The showroom is outside Madinat Zayed Shopping Centre, not inside it: directly behind the Lulu Express building. Open until 11 PM, every day.

One tap and it lands on the shop, not on the mall. A street address will not — around here the landmark is the address, which is why we lead with Lulu Express rather than a street number.

What it costs
How much does an abaya cost?
We manufacture our own, so there is no wholesaler and no mall rent in the price. Below mall prices, not below everyone's — the fabric is the same fabric.

Which fabric should you choose?
Come and handle them. A fabric photograph tells you nothing about how it hangs.
Crepe
A slightly twisted, textured surface that resists wrinkles and holds its shape all day without clinging. The office choice.
Linen
A natural fibre, exceptionally breathable with real cooling properties. Relaxed and elegant, though it creases more readily.
Georgette
Denser and more opaque than chiffon, with a strong drape and less snagging. A durable choice for a light, elegant abaya.
The workroom
Thirty-five years of abayas went into this shop
We have been cutting and sewing abayas on this street since 1990. The showroom is over 100 square metres, the largest floor given to abayas in the area, and the sewing happens behind it.
We also manufacture for independent modest-fashion labels, producing their limited lines to their own patterns. If other designers have their pieces made here, that tells you more about the workroom than anything we could write about ourselves.
