Nida, korean crepe, silky and premium thobe cotton — the cloth the Gulf market actually asks for, in the weights it expects.
This is the collection closest to home. Abaya and thobe cloth is judged on a set of qualities buyers in this region know by name — nida, korean, silky, ferwa, and the fine two-ply cottons used for thobes — and on details like matt finish, opacity and how the cloth falls without clinging.
For abayas we supply nida in standard and premium weights, korean crepe, silky satin-back and heavier ferwa for winter, in deep blacks that hold their tone through repeated laundering. Black shade consistency is the single most common complaint in this trade, so we quote against an approved swatch and keep it on file.
For thobes we supply the fine cotton and poly-cotton broadcloths in the crisp, high-count qualities the market expects, with the whiteness and body that survive starching and pressing.
