The right hijab fabric makes the difference between a hijab you adjust all day and one you forget you're wearing. Here's how the four fabrics in our collection compare.
Georgette: soft drape, everyday favourite
Georgette is lightweight with a slightly textured, matte surface that gives a soft, graceful drape. It holds pleats well and is easy to style in many ways, which makes it the most popular choice for daily wear, work and university.
Best for: everyday styling, a neat and polished look.
Shop plain georgette hijabs or printed georgette hijabs.
Lawn: breathable for hot days
Lawn is a light, breathable cotton-feel fabric, perfect for Pakistani summers. It feels cool on the skin and stays comfortable through long days. Printed lawn hijabs also hold colour and patterns beautifully.
Best for: summer, long days outdoors, casual wear.

Karaib: soft, matte and a little dressy
Karaib has a soft, matte texture with a smooth drape. Our leaf print Karaib stoles add a self-printed leaf design with subtle shine and delicate stonework, so they work for everyday wear but feel a little more special.
Best for: gatherings, dinners, when you want a touch of detail.

Crinkle: textured and low-maintenance
Crinkle fabric has a natural textured finish, so it looks great without ironing and grips well, which helps it stay in place. Lightweight and easy to throw on, it's a great travel and busy-day hijab.
Best for: travel, busy days, a relaxed look with no ironing.
