Haute Hijab was born in 2010 out of a struggle familiar to many Muslim women—the difficulty of finding comfortable, high-quality hijabs that made me feel confident. I couldn't understand why such an important garment was often treated as an afterthought. Clearly, I thought, we deserved better.
I knew that creating the kind of hijab we needed meant taking matters into my own hands. Inspired by the Islamic tradition of ihsaan, doing everything with beauty and excellence, I founded Haute Hijab alongside my co-founder Ahmed Zedan and got to work immediately. We spent months searching for the perfect fabric to make our hijabs, rigorously testing them to ensure they were breathable, comfortable, washable, durable, and beautiful—everything you could ever expect from a hijab.
