l'arc en ciel

Inspired, as its name suggests, by the shades of a rainbow, this abaya turns colour into an integral part of its construction. Crafted from premium crepe, its clean, fluid base is traced with fine embroidered thread lines that bring rhythm and definition to the silhouette.

Along each side of the front, a sequence of eight coloured lines runs through the length of the abaya. The threads follow subtly curved paths that move naturally with the fabric, creating an elongated graphic effect.

The palette combines butter, off-white, purple, olive and brown, with intentionally repeated shades creating balance throughout the composition. The sleeves echo the same concept in a more minimal arrangement, featuring four embroidered lines in purple, off-white, brown and butter.

The contrast between the understated crepe and the delicacy of the coloured threadwork adds dimension without compromising the fluidity of the garment. A SAARAIDI interpretation of the rainbow: graphic, subtle and distinctly Khaleeji.
