An abaya can do more than nod to tradition, it can run your whole wardrobe. Nowhere proves that better than Saudi Arabia, where designers turn the classic silhouette into work-day tailoring, after-dark shimmer, and off-duty throw-ons. Whether you’re a resident or a visitor hunting for that first piece, the search is half the fun. Here’s a roundup to track down the makers who pair time-honoured craft with a trendy approach.
Sharqiaa
Known for their swarovski studded abaya, Sharqiaa is no less than an abaya haven. With neutrals, prints to bright colours and embroidery, they carry it all and deliver right to your doorstep (anywhere in the world).
Abaya By Sana
You can never go wrong with a classic black abaya and nobody does it better than them. They offer you timeless and luxe black abayas made with premium fabric jacquard but don’t mistake them as boring because all of their abayas have their signature print.
