There are abayas for every day, and then there are velvet abayas. Our velvet collection at Hayah Al-Muslimah is designed specifically for the occasions where you want to walk into a room and feel extraordinary — Eid celebrations, Nikah ceremonies, formal dinners, winter weddings. Premium velvet is deeply pigmented and carries a natural sheen that catches the light in a way no other abaya fabric can replicate.
Every velvet abaya in this collection is crafted from finest-grade velvet and finished entirely by hand. We are talking about cascading silver stonework, maroon beadwork and crystal detailing applied down the shoulders and sleeves — not printed, not heat-pressed, hand-stitched. We also carry a laser-cut velvet motif style, where intricate cutwork is applied to a Nida base for those who want the texture of velvet in a more understated and wearable way.
Our open velvet abayas come with a matching hijab and belt as standard. Current colourways include emerald green, ruby burgundy and onyx black — each carrying the same silver and maroon embellishment detail for a set that looks deliberate and cohesive. Pair with our inner slip dresses (sold separately in our inner slips collection) for a complete, fully modest look.
For occasions that call for something equally special but lighter in weight, our chiffon abayas are the natural step down. For everyday premium quality, our nida abayas are the place to start, or browse all abayas.
