Garaza – Impeccable tailoring and premium fabrics
The abaya (Arabic: عباية ʿabāyah, meaning “cloak”) is a long, loose-fitting dress with wide sleeves, traditionally worn by Muslim women to cover the entire body in accordance with Islamic dress codes. The abaya has evolved from its classic black design to an impressive variety of colours and embellishments, ranging from understated elegance to luxurious splendour. Whether chosen as a simple option for everyday wear or as an elegant outfit for special occasions, the abaya is often complemented with a hijab to complete the look.
Today’s abayas come in a variety of styles and materials:
The abaya now stands at the heart of the global modest fashion movement, embraced not only for its religious significance but also for its sophisticated versatility.
An abaya dress has become a universal emblem of modest fashion, beloved far beyond its Arabian roots and increasingly visible on the streets of London, Birmingham, and other UK style capitals. Designed in Finland by the women-led label Garaza, each abaya reflects a seamless fusion of Nordic minimalism and timeless Islamic elegance. Whether you are looking for a classic abaya dress for daily wear, a statement open abaya for layering, or a sleek black abaya that pairs effortlessly with contemporary accessories, today’s abaya offers the perfect balance of cultural heritage, comfort, and style.
The abaya is available for both men and women, but it is the women’s abaya that has gained significant popularity beyond Muslim-majority countries. Historically worn in opaque black, the women’s abaya has become a symbol of grace and cultural refinement across the globe, including the UK. Garaza’s Finnish-crafted abayas introduce:
