Hawzah News Agency –On Tuesday, thousands of women from different religions and backgrounds celebrated the 10th annual World Hijab Day by uploading selfies on social media with the hashtag #DressedNotOppressed. Its declared goal is to encourage women of all faiths and backgrounds to wear and experience the hijab for a day, as well as to educate and raise awareness about why the hijab is worn.
To commemorate the day, in this article, we will take a look at some of the Muslim women led Hijab brands in the world.
1. Haute Hijab
Melanie Elturk, a former civil rights attorney in Chicago, is the CEO of this thriving fashion enterprise. The company first began out with the sole goal of creating a modest fashion line that would allow Muslim-American women to feel seen, but she was taken aback when she discovered through her sales data that Haute Hijab was not only a clothing company, but also America’s leading Hijab Brand.
From performance hijabs to ecological innovations, Haute Hijab is passionate about fusing fashion, style, and technology into the ideal hijabs for any event in a Muslim woman’s life. Not to mention, the special quiz on their website that helps the consumer decide what hijab suites their needs the best.
HH doesn’t just manufacture great hijabs; she’s determined to create the hijabs you’ve always wanted—or never imagined were feasible. With a “mission to create a world where every woman feels comfortable and confident”, Haute Hijab grows and continue to elevate the experience of wearing hijab.
2. Bokitta
Mubde Absi and his wife Wafa, along with their five children Nadra, Mona, Hala, Mohammad, and Abdallah, run Bokitta- an innovative and attractive headscarf and apparel firm. The need to eliminate the effort of styling and wrapping prompted the creation of the instant pinless wrapped hijab.
Bokitta is a one-stop shop for all of your hijab needs. Under the Bokitta brand, they design, manufacture, wholesale, and retail exclusive and original ladies fashion apparel and scarves of the finest quality and at accessible prices for fashion-conscious and self-confident women of all ages and cultures worldwide.
Since 2009, Bokitta has been in the forefront of hijab fashion, and they continue to transform the hijab fashion narrative.
3. Tundung People
Fazrena Aziz created TudungPeople with the purpose of providing the finest and most comfortable hijab for everyone. It was founded at a period when wearing tudung was not mainstream fashion. Eversince, Fazrena has remained steadfast in her opinion that the tudung is more than simply a piece of fabric to cover a woman’s head and hair, and has created a style that balances being attractive with dressing modestly.
TudungPeople includes a vast selection of hijabs for any occasion and in a variety of sizes, and the company has 12 distributors globally, including Southeast Asia, the Middle East, North America, and Europe.
TudungPeople has swiftly spread around the world, rising to become one of Malaysia’s top online hijab businesses since 2011, and is continuously setting the way for comfortable and affordable hijabs.
4. Calaqisya
Farah Ilyana Khairuddin a.k.a. Yana, Farah Mislina (Farah), and Farah Azrina (Azrina) are the brains behind CalaQisya, a company that has made a name for itself in elegant modest clothes for the past twelve years.
Each sister is unique in terms of personality and educational background. Despite their differences, the sisters, all in their twenties, are fashionistas – they love to dress up and have a natural aptitude for dressing up in style with the tudung.
CalaQisya, which was founded in 2010, specializes on modest comfort wear that is “as comfy as clothes can get.” The business is passionate about modest apparel, especially in terms of practicality and utility for women of all shapes and sizes. For example, the company was among the first to develop the “tudung stetoskop,” a device with ear openings made for earphone users and physicians.
“Our advantage is definitely the sizes of my sisters and I. In other words, we have real testimonies from women who wear S, M and L/XL. That makes our job easier because we understand the issues of each size and work with each other to come up with the best designs”
5. Modanisa
Kerim Ture founded Modanisa with the ambition and goal of meeting modest women’s desire to wear apparel that are in line with current fashion trends and their lifestyle. This company began as the first Turkish platform to supply online clothing shopping to a range of target demographics, and has since grown to become the world’s largest modest fashion online store.
They have 20 million visitors from all around the world, offer over 650 brands and 70 thousand goods, and ship thousands of shipments to five continents every day. Their devotion and enthusiasm for their profession has repaid them with their customers’ love and trust beyond their wildest dreams.
Modanis is delighted to showcase small manufacturers and designers to the world as Turkey’s first international online shopping site platform and e-export champion. They may be expanding rapidly, but they are still determined to maintain their start-up attitude.
