Our story

Built around the fabric

We started with what goes wrong in a modest wardrobe, then worked backwards to a fabric and a cut that fix it.

Modest dress should not mean choosing between covering properly and feeling like yourself.

Hizjaab started with a wardrobe problem most of us know well. The pieces that covered properly were shapeless and stiff. The pieces that looked considered were sheer, or too warm for Dhaka, or fell apart after four washes.

So we started with fabric instead of silhouette. We spent a year sampling before we cut a single garment, and we only put a piece into production once it passed the same test every time: fully opaque under direct light, breathable in June, and still holding its drape after twenty washes.

People find us under a few different spellings — Hijab, Hizab, Hzjab, Hizjab — they all lead to the same brand and the same address.

The fabric

The fabrics behind every piece

Every Hizjaab piece is made from one of these fabrics, chosen for what that piece needs to do - softness against the skin, a breathable weave for warmer days, or a fabric with enough weight to hold its drape.

China Linen

Used across 7 pieces in our current collection.

Dubai Chery

সফট, আরামদায়ক এবং টেকসই প্রিমিয়াম দুবাই চেরী কাপড়।

Soft Cotton

Used across 30 pieces in our current collection.

Care is the same simple routine across all of them: a cold hand-wash or a gentle machine cycle, no bleach, dried in the shade.

Made in our own factory

Our craft, start to finish

Every piece is checked, cut, sewn and finished in-house, in our own factory. Nothing here is complicated - it is just done in the right order, and nothing skips a step because a deadline is close.

01

Fabric first

Every roll is checked for opacity and colour consistency before it is cut. A roll that drifts from the approved shade goes back, even if it is close, because a customer reordering the same colour should get the same colour.

02

Cut for a relaxed fall

Our patterns are drafted with room through the chest and hip rather than taken in and let out from a fitted base. That is why our free-size pieces work across a genuinely wide range of heights instead of only looking right on one.

03

Reinforce the stress points

Shoulder seams, armhole joins and the top of any front opening are double-stitched. These are the three places a modest garment fails first, because they carry the weight of everything below them.

04

Finish by hand, then wash it

Hems are hand-finished, then a sample from each batch goes through a twenty-wash cycle. If the drape changes or a seam puckers, the batch does not ship.

What we hold to

Three promises

These are the things we would want from a brand we bought from, so they are the things we hold ourselves to.

Honest coverage

If a piece needs an under-layer to be opaque, we say so on the product page. We would rather lose a sale than have you find out at a wedding.

Real measurements

Our size chart is flat measurements from the actual garment, not a generic table. Message us your usual size and we will tell you honestly if we run different.

A person on the phone

Every order is confirmed by a real call before it is dispatched. If something is wrong with what arrives, the same number picks up.


“I wanted something I could wear to work, to a wedding, and to my mother’s house without changing who I was in between. That is the whole brief.”
