What makes honeycomb fabric good for an abaya?

Honeycomb fabric has a small raised pattern that looks like the cells of a beehive. This texture means a honeycomb abaya creases less than one in a smooth fabric, feels slightly more structured and is not see-through. The surface also hides lint and small marks well, so the abaya still looks neat at the end of a long day. Button front: a classic, tidy look. Zip front: quick to put on and easy with casual outfits. Belted: gently defines the waist.

How do you style a honeycomb abaya?

Because the fabric already has texture, it works best with a plain hijab in a soft solid colour and simple shoes. It is a practical outer layer for spring and autumn. Wash it at a low temperature and iron it inside out on a gentle setting so the raised pattern is not flattened. For more fabrics and cuts, explore our full abaya collection.
