Akhawat Abaya Couture Launch

Akhawat Abaya Couture is a new company launching an exclusive range of handmade couture abayas this month. All the abayas are made bespoke, allowing you to tailor your abaya to your exact measurements, chosen colour and embroidery. The Akhawat website will be launching early this year, until then all of the abayas can be previewed on their Facebook page.

Akhawat are currently running a competition for the Spring/Summer 2011 launch, where they are asking for creative names for their abayas. There are £50 vouchers up for grabs for each of the 25 abayas names, and a £200 voucher for the overall winner. You can find further details of the competition here, closing date is January 15th 2011.

Here are just a few photos of the abayas and shaylas they design; you can see the rest on their Facebook page here and here.
