The Abaya of Heritage العباية التراثية (Al-Abaya Al-Turathiya)
The Story behind the design
In Arabic tradition, natural materials like wood represent a deep connection to nature and skilled craftsmanship. In contrast, Nordic design is defined by its minimalist approach and geometric precision. The simple, square wooden buttons on this abaya beautifully combine these elements—honoring Arabic craftsmanship while embracing the Nordic ethos of clean, functional design. This fusion symbolizes how traditions evolve, where heritage meets modernity, and where every detail serves as a tribute to both cultures’ refined beauty.
A Symbol of Timeless Harmony
This abaya symbolizes the meeting of roots and precision, a harmonious balance between the earth’s organic elements and human ingenuity. The square buttons remind us of the enduring connection to our origins, grounding us in a fast-moving world. At the same time, the abaya’s structured simplicity speaks to a modern vision, where tradition and innovation coexist. It is a statement of quiet strength, an ode to craftsmanship, and a celebration of the beauty in natural imperfection.
