About Shailah
Shailah is an Emirati brand based in Dubai, offering the Emirati hijab for home, occasions, prayer and gifting to women in the UAE and across the Gulf. Our collections focus on named fabrics, a generous size with modest coverage, and handwork on embroidered pieces.
Our story
Shailah began in 2005 as a small initiative started by an Emirati mother, and today we work from Jumeirah, Dubai. The Emirati hijab has been at the centre of our work from the start: an everyday hijab for home, an elegant hijab for visits and occasions, and a comfortable hijab for prayer.
Why choose Shailah
Five reasons, each one you can check on the product page before you order.
- 01Emirati identity: the Emirati hijab as women in the UAE and the Gulf wear it, from an Emirati brand in Dubai.
- 02Named fabrics: light cotton voile for everyday wear, Duja Al-Lail, one of Shailah's fabrics, and cotton for prayer hijabs. Compare the fabric details provided on the product page.
- 03Handwork: many of our pieces carry embroidery, beadwork or crochet done by hand, and each product page says which work it has.
- 04Room to drape: a 106 cm width leaves enough fabric to wrap around the head and let the end fall freely over the shoulders.
- 05Generous size, modest coverage: most of our hijabs measure 214 cm long and 106 cm wide. Available sizes vary from piece to piece.
