Deep plum and antique blue paisley. Regal, warm, and quietly sovereign.

Malika means queen, and this is the most regal piece in the collection. Cut from the same pashmina blend, she is woven in a rich plum ground with sweeping antique-blue and rose paisley running through her like an old tapestry. The colour story is warm without being heavy, ornate without being loud. The abaya equivalent of a heritage piece passed mother to daughter.

The fabric drapes long and full through the body, and the open kimono sleeves give her that effortless, take-her-anywhere ease. Hand-tied fringing finishes the hem and cuffs in the artisan tradition the rest of the edit shares.

Wear her open over an ivory slip for soft contrast, or cinched with a thin belt for a more sculpted line. She arrives with her matching pashmina scarf, generous in size and styled however the day asks for.

Product Care

Washing

• Dry cleaning is the easiest way to keep her looking her best.
• If washing at home, hand-wash in cool water with a gentle detergent made for wool or pashmina.
• Deep tones may release a little colour on the first wash, so wash alone the first time.
• Wash the abaya and scarf separately so the fringe stays neat.
• Skip the machine, the bleach, and the wringing. Press the water out gently by rolling her in a clean towel.

Drying

• Lay flat on a clean towel, away from direct sun.
• Smooth her into shape while she's still damp.
• Skip the tumble dryer.

Ironing

• Use a cool setting (the silk or wool mark on your iron).
• Steam from a small distance is the gentlest option.
• If you're pressing directly, place a thin cotton cloth over the fabric first.

Storage

• Fold and tuck her into a breathable cotton bag or drawer between wears.
• A small lavender sachet keeps her smelling beautiful and fresh between seasons.
