Paper to Pearls Abaya
Shared by Knerq in the Fabric Crafts
Product Description:
Shaylas are hijab, the scarf head covering that Muslim women wear, usually as part of the abaya or traditional black caftan. The shayla tends to be larger than the typical hijab; when wrapped over the head, it covers the shoulders and reaches below the bust.Muslim women in Abu Dhabi love to add bling to their shaylas. They often pile their long hair high on their heads, covering everything with the shawl, which they adjust so that their shoulders are not only draped but sparkle with patterned sequins and small crystals. Or in this case, paper beads.
This glorious headcovering is made of black chiffon and trimmed in gold thread, crystals and our own paper beads. Handmade in Abu Dhabi, it is truly one of a kind.
