What is a khimar set
A khimar set is an abaya that arrives complete with its head covering. You choose one colour and one length, and the rest is already matched. That removes the question loose pieces leave you with: does this brown sit well with that brown. In a set the answer is given.
What a khimar set holds
An abaya and khimar set is an abaya with its head covering, in one order, in the same fabric and the same colour. On a set that head covering can be attached to the abaya or worn loose over the top. Which a style has is stated on its product page. The set here is nida, a matte crepe: no shine, a smooth fall and hardly any creasing.
Size per piece
The abaya runs on length in centimetres, from 138 to 153. Measure without shoes from your shoulder to the floor and pick the number closest to that. The head covering comes in one size, so there is nothing to choose there. If you are between two lengths, take the longer one.
Washing and care
Wash a set at 30 degrees and hang it to dry afterwards. If it is two separate pieces, wash them together, so they go through the same number of washes and the colours stay level. Not in the tumble dryer. Ironing is fine on low heat, on the inside.
One colour per set
A set comes in one colour, so the abaya and the head covering are matched the moment they leave the box. We carry neutrals: black, the browns and beige. Bright colours are not in the collection. Which colours we hold is on the product page.
Why alsouq
A set is the shortest route to a complete outfit, and it is often worn as prayer clothing. Beyond that, what holds everywhere holds here: we buy once a season, the size is the length in centimetres, and your order leaves from the Netherlands with fourteen days to change your mind.
Frequently asked questions
What does a khimar set consist of
An abaya and its matching head covering, in the same fabric and the same colour. That head covering can be attached to the abaya. What you receive exactly is on the product page.
Can I wear a set as prayer clothing
Yes. Prayer clothing need be no more than loose, covering clothes that go on and off quickly. A set is exactly that: put it on and you are ready.
Which size do I choose
Choose on the length of the abaya, from 138 to 153 centimetres, measured from your shoulder to the floor. The head covering comes in one size, so it follows on its own.
