Sun-chasing weekends, humid nights, and a social calendar that refuses to cool down—Saudi designers have summer dressing figured out. Here are all the home-grown brands to have on your radar this season.
Abadia
The Jeddah-born label—first Saudi brand on Net-a-Porter—turns heritage into modern lines: flowing bishts cinched at the waist, muted sand tones offset with unexpected textures. Their seasonal drop swaps heavier jacquards for airy cotton pieces, perfect when the mercury crosses 40°C.
Lamya’s Abayas
Riyadh designer Lamya Al-Sarra calls her pieces “joy dressing.” Think pistachio, tangerine, and fuchsia linens cut into asymmetric silhouettes that catch every breeze. Her 2025 edit adds contrast piping and deep patch pockets—practical if your phone is glued to you all day.
Moja Majka
A slow-fashion project by mother-and-daughter duo Sarah Basaad and Sureyya Barli. The brand sources organic linen and cotton from Türkiye, stitch on antique trims, and keep colours sun-washed. Their kaftan-meets-abaya shape is roomy enough for a Red Sea road-trip yet polished enough for a sunset gathering.
KAF by KAF
Architect-turned-designer Kawthar Al-Horaish brings structure to modest dressing: pleated cardigan-abayas in lavender stripes, sharp lapels, and the brand’s Adidas “Lightbound” collab for SS25 (yes, an abaya-inspired tracksuit exists). Ideal if you like a little edge with your airflow.
Nora Al Shaikh
If your closet had a “one-and-done” button, Nora Al Shaikh might be it. The Saudi designer lines up airy linen kaftans for weekday errands, draped abayas for family lunches, and silky column dresses that glide straight into wedding season—all stitched with the subtlest nods to Najdi craft.
Thaa
Linen so light it almost floats: that’s Thaa’s calling card. Look for their hand-embroidered rose sleeves and crochet trims in the “Heritage 2025” capsule—perfect for those humid corniche walks when you still want a little romance.
Orange Blossom
Born in Jeddah in 2013, Orange Blossom is Zeina Adra’s love letter to the city’s sea-salt breezes and bright souks. The boutique has mood-lifting abayas, jackets, and dresses that nod to Saudi heritage without feeling heavy. Expect cotton-poplin bishts in butter yellow, linen stripes that echo the Corniche boardwalk, and formal pieces trimmed with the brand’s signature gold-tone buttons. Everything is cut and sewn locally—so when you slip into one of their pieces, you’re literally wearing a slice of Jeddah craftsmanship.
Samah Abayas
A constant fixture on the “100 Saudi Brands” roster, Samah Khashoggi’s label leans timeless. Think embossed velvet in deep midnight or crisp crepe in dove grey, finished with tonal embroidery that catches the light in just the right way. The pieces feel formal enough for engagement parties yet never tip into full-bling territory—perfect for when you want elegance with staying power.
