How to Care for Your Luxury Abaya
A luxury abaya is an investment — and like all valuable investments, it deserves proper care. Whether you've purchased a Nidha everyday abaya or a velvet occasion piece from Lusso Moda Qatar, the way you care for your abaya determines how long it will remain beautiful. Here is our complete guide to luxury abaya care.
Always Check the Care Label
Before anything else, read the care label inside your abaya. Lusso Moda includes detailed care instructions for every piece. Follow these instructions precisely — what works for one fabric can damage another.
Washing Your Abaya
Nidha and Crepe: Nidha and crepe abayas can generally be machine washed on a delicate cycle using cold water. Turn the abaya inside out before washing to protect the outer surface and any embellishments. Use a gentle, colour-safe detergent.
Chiffon: Chiffon is delicate and should be hand washed in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting — gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat to dry.
Velvet: Velvet should be dry cleaned by a professional. Washing velvet at home can crush the pile and permanently damage the fabric. For small stains, use a velvet brush gently in the direction of the pile.
Embroidered and Embellished Pieces: Any abaya with embroidery, beads, or lace should always be dry cleaned or very gently hand washed. Embellishments can catch in machine wash drums and be pulled loose.
Drying Your Abaya
Never tumble dry a luxury abaya. Always hang or lay flat to dry in a shaded area — direct sunlight can fade colours, especially under intense Gulf sun. Use a padded hanger to maintain the shoulder shape.
Ironing and Steaming
For most fabrics, a fabric steamer is the safest option — it removes wrinkles without direct contact that can damage delicate surfaces. If ironing, always use a pressing cloth between the iron and the abaya, and select the lowest heat setting appropriate for the fabric.
Storing Your Abaya
Store your abaya on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag — never in a plastic cover, which traps moisture and can cause yellowing. Keep it in a cool, dry wardrobe away from direct light. Fold and store embellished pieces in soft tissue paper to prevent snags.
