Care Guide

Preserve the Beauty of Your Abaya
At Thread by Mariam, each Abaya is crafted with premium materials and detailed artistry. To ensure your garments retain their elegance and last for years, we recommend following these care guidelines.

🧼 The Best Way to Wash an Abaya

The optimal washing method depends on the fabric type and design:
Plain black or colored abayas without embellishments such as raised threads or beads are usually hand-washed using abaya-specific shampoo.
Abayas made from special fabrics or those with raised threads, embellishments, or decorative stones should be steam cleaned to preserve their quality.

🌬️ Drying Tips

  • Do not wring or twist the fabric—gently press to remove excess water.
  • Hang or lay flat to dry in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.
  • Avoid tumble dryers. High heat can weaken delicate fibers and embellishments.

🧺 Ironing & Steaming

  • Use a low to medium heat setting on your iron.
  • Always iron on the reverse side of the fabric.
  • For delicate materials like chiffon or nida, a garment steamer is recommended to remove wrinkles gently.
  • Avoid ironing over decorative elements like lace, beading, or embroidery.

👚 Storage Recommendations

  • Hang your Abayas on padded or wide hangers to maintain shape.
  • Use breathable garment bags to protect from dust and humidity.
  • Avoid overcrowding your wardrobe to prevent creasing and fabric stress.

⚠️ Special Care Notes

  • For Abayas with embellishments or embroidery, consider professional dry cleaning.
  • Always spot test a small hidden area before applying any cleaning solution.
  • Keep away from perfumes, deodorants, or oils that may stain delicate fabrics.

❤️ Made with Care, Meant to Last

Your Abaya is more than a garment—it's a statement of elegance and identity. Treat it with the love it deserves, and it will remain a timeless piece in your wardrobe.
