Abaya edits
A brown abaya feels warmer than black, and the ten here are a deep chocolate brown worked with gold and bronze palm fronds, one in each of our abaya shapes. Further down, in a section of their own, are four Acacia designs in taupe, a soft grey brown with cream blossom and grey leaves, for calmer days. Each is made in a size from S to XL or to your own measurements, in nida, crepe or chiffon, with a scarf to match, and sent from Pakistan to London, Dubai or wherever you live.

Palm Arc is the dressier of the two looks here. The base is a deep, dark brown and the gold and bronze thread stands out warmly against it. Wear it for Eid, a family dinner or an autumn or winter evening when black feels too stark.
The motif is the same on all ten, so start with the cut. Six open down the front and go over a dress or a top and trousers: kimono, bisht, cape, tailored, tulip and pleated. Four are closed: butterfly, bell, lantern and layered. Every one has fronds on the sleeves or cuffs, and the rest of the embroidery sits in a different place on each shape.
All ten Palm Arc designs are also on our Eid abayas page. Each takes 5 to 7 working days to make once your quote is approved and paid in full, and shipping time is extra, so ask in good time. For a cold Eid morning in the UK, crepe is a little heavier than nida, and our winter abayas guide covers linings and what to wear underneath.

Taupe sits between grey and brown, lighter and cooler than chocolate. The four Acacia designs carry round cream blossoms and soft grey leaves with no gold thread, so they look calm rather than festive: right for the office, university or an ordinary weekday.
Design preview03
The scarf that comes with each design matches the abaya, which is the simplest finish. If you want to mix in scarves you already own, chocolate brown takes cream, camel, soft gold, rust and dusty pink, or deep green and navy for contrast, while taupe sits well with ivory, blush and grey. There are more ideas in what colours go with brown, and the abayas with hijab page treats scarf and abaya as one set.
Let the thread choose your jewellery: gold or brass with the palm fronds, silver or pearls with the cream and grey Acacia. As a rough guide, chocolate brown sits well on warm, olive and deeper skin tones and taupe on fair or cool skin, though the scarf next to your face counts for more than the abaya.
Nida is matte, so chocolate brown looks soft and even and the gold fronds stand out crisply. Crepe is heavier and the most opaque of the three, with a fine grainy surface, which makes it a good choice for the lighter taupe. Chiffon is slightly sheer, so one layer looks lighter than the colour drawn; add a lining for the full shade. All three cost the same, and nida, crepe or chiffon compares them.

Chocolate brown and taupe are simply the colours these designs are drawn in. Any of our abaya designs can be made in any colour, so you can ask for camel, beige, tan or a lighter brown, or for Palm Arc in taupe and Acacia in chocolate brown. Your written quote confirms the colour of the abaya and its scarf before anything is cut.
Brown is hard to judge on a screen, and these pictures are design previews, so expect a small difference in shade on the finished abaya. Describe the colour in words or send a photo of something in that shade; beige, fawn, camel or skin helps you name it.
The same ten shapes also come in black and ivory, the six front-opening cuts are compared on open abayas, and anything else can start as a custom abaya.
Light brown can mean anything from tan and camel to a milky coffee shade, so give us a reference. The nearest drawn colour is the taupe of the Acacia designs, which is greyer. Ask for Palm Arc or Acacia in light brown, and the shade, the scarf and the thread colour are all written into your quote.

FAQ
Yes. Any of our abaya designs can be made in any colour, so you can ask for camel, beige or a lighter brown, and the shade is agreed in your written quote before cutting. Describe it in words or send a photo too, as screens show brown differently.
Taupe is a soft grey brown, lighter and cooler than chocolate. The four Acacia designs here are taupe with cream and grey embroidery, and they sit in their own section after the ten chocolate brown designs.
Yes. Each design here comes with a scarf in the same colour, chocolate brown or taupe. If you change the abaya’s colour, say what you would like for the scarf and it goes into your quote.
Crepe or nida. Crepe is the most opaque of the three, and nida is opaque in a dark shade like chocolate brown. Chiffon is slightly sheer, so one layer looks lighter; ask for a lining if you want the full colour.
Yes. All ten Palm Arc designs are on our Eid abayas page, and the gold and bronze thread gives them a festive look. Allow 5 to 7 working days of making after approval and full payment, plus shipping time.
