Description

There’s a moment when you slip into an abaya and know—it feels just right. The Zaraafah Leaf Abaya in a gentle taupe is one of those pieces. Inspired by early morning light and nature’s quiet charm, this abaya brings a soft sense of confidence to every step you take—whether you’re heading to Eid prayers, an evening gathering, or simply enjoying a peaceful day out.

The real story lies in the artistry: fine golden leaf handwork blossoms along the sleeves, stitched by skilled hands for a finish that’s subtle yet full of character. Look closely, and you’ll see delicate motifs that catch the light and draw compliments without a word. The matching sheila features a single golden motif—just enough to tie the whole look together, never overwhelming, always just right.

Lightweight nida premium fabric feels soft and breathable even in summer, with a full-coverage drape that suits modest wear lovers from the USA to the UK, Europe, and the Gulf. Whether you’re shopping for your first abaya online or adding to your modest fashion collection, this is a piece made to be lived in and loved for years.
