A woman on a Dubai rooftop at night in a jet-black abaya, hand-painted with one white brushstroke down the front and sleeve, under a full moon

Painted by
moonlight.

The Midnight Collection. Jet-black crepe abayas, each hand-painted in a single white stroke. No two carry the same line.

Made to order in our Dubai atelier

Every abaya carries one stroke. No two strokes are the same.

Midad means ink. Each piece starts as plain jet-black crepe on the atelier table and ends with a single pass of the brush, made by one hand in one breath. The line cannot be repeated, so neither can the abaya.

Numbered, signed, and recorded in the atelier book beside your name.

The Midnight Collection

Four silhouettes in fluid crepe with a chiffon veil. Each one is painted when you order it, so the stroke on yours belongs to nobody else.

  3. Script: black abaya with a single white line running from shoulder to hem

    Script

    Shoulder to hem without lifting the brush, like a pen that never leaves the page.

  4. Inverse: ivory crepe abaya painted with one black stroke down the front

    Inverse

    From AED 3,900

    Ivory crepe, painted in black ink. The collection turned inside out.

    View Inverse

One brush. One pass. No second chances.

The paint is mixed at the atelier each morning and laid down in a single movement, wrist to shoulder. If the line falters, the panel is set aside and the work starts again on fresh crepe. What reaches you is the stroke that was right the first time.

Your stroke, your name.

For a bespoke piece, the stroke is drawn for you. We sit down together, talk about where you will wear it and how you move, and sketch the line on paper before a brush touches the crepe.

Your name is painted inside the hem, in the same stroke.

Bespoke from AED 6,500
