No other garment symbolises the heritage of Arabian culture as much as Jalabiyas. The traditional Jalabiyas, hand-crafted by master artisans, trace their origin to ancient times and were loved and treasured by royalty.
The grandeur of the spectacular tunics has been documented and preserved by many historians and museums. It is perhaps the most enduring and iconic garment often passed down generations in a household. Exquisite weaves, rich fabrics, vibrant colours, intricate embroideries and frills were beautifully combined to create magnificent robes for every occasion. Over the years, adaptations of these full-length, flowing gowns spread from the Arab world to different parts of the world including Europe, Asia and Africa.
In 2003, Kashkha pioneered the concept of retailing affordable and stylish Jalabiyas and other modest dresses in Dubai. The label now boasts over 30 stores in all major shopping malls across the UAE, France, Singapore, Oman, Qatar, Malaysia, Indonesia, Djibouti, Morocco and Lebanon offering a stunning collection of Jalabiyas, Mukhawars, Hijabs, Modest Fashion, Nightwear and Maternity Wear.
