Est. 25 · Abu Dhabi · Luxury Vintage Womenswear
There are garments you wear, and there are garments that carry you. Cut from silk crepe, velvet, and hand-finished chiffon, each Gilded abaya revives the artistry of the Gulf's golden eras — draped for the woman who steps boldly into the future carrying the wisdom of the past.

The LayaliSignature Silk-Crepe Abaya
The Collection
Each silhouette is named for the hours a woman keeps — dawn majlis to gilded evening — and cut to move with quiet power.
The Atelier
Sustainable luxury, rooted in artisanal craftsmanship and fabrics chosen to endure beyond seasons.
Japanese nida silk-crepe, Italian velvet, and French chiffon — sourced in limited bolts, never repeated, so each drop remains a small edition.
Hand-rolled hems, bound seams, and corozo buttons. Forty-two touchpoints pass through our seamstresses' hands before a single label is stitched.
Every abaya is offered in bespoke length and sleeve, fitted in our Abu Dhabi atelier or by private appointment — because heritage should fit perfectly.
Our Palette
The Gilded speaks in two voices. Mahogany Luxe carries the depth and warmth of vintage craftsmanship — the colour of carved doors, old libraries, strong qahwa. Vanilla Silk answers with softness: purity, refinement, effortless calm.
Dark and bold meets light and delicate. Strength and grace, stitched into every abaya, every ribbon, every envelope that leaves the atelier.
HEX #3D2726 · The signature of the house — evening abayas, wax seals, and the atelier door.
HEX #FDF8F0 · Linings, tissue wrap, and the calm ground on which everything rests.
Seasonal voice · Reserved for capsule drops, ribbons, and the rarest velvet evenings.
