Hijabs of the world

Hi darlings! We have been a bit curious lately and we all know that in today's globalized world, fashion is internationally visible and therefore fashionistas from the world do dress up more or less the same way. But we wanted to go back into history and cultures and see how it all started;) Here is a selection of how Hijab is still worn in some of the world's regions:

Fashion CRUSHHHH!

We literally fell in love with the Arabic fashion brand.... Keswah.

Keswah means in colloquial Arabic "clothing" and was created by three Emirati women. Known for their trendy and creative Jalabiyas (traditional Egyptian garment) made with the best fabrics, they mix tradition and fashion. You can find Jalabiyas with flowers, or half peplums, or even Peter Pan collars! So many different styles to wear for daytime or for special occasions.

Check out their collections and purchase the dresses online!
