Bismillah — pre-launch

Two niqabi sisters who couldn't find a nursing abaya.

So we made one.

Save my seat on the list

Closed silhouette. Concealed nursing zip. Tie-free niqab. Designed in North America.

What we make

Three things we couldn't buy. So we made them.

Pockets because we have stuff. Tie-free because she's busy. Nursing zip because she has a baby on her hip.

  • Coming soon

    Closed-pocket abaya

    Pull-over silhouette, no open-front. Two deep pockets — keys, phone, pacifier. Built for the school run.

  • Coming soon

    Nursing abaya

    Concealed zip-to-waist, flush against the front seam. No flap, no panel, no compromise on coverage.

  • Coming soon

    Tie-free niqab

    Slip-on construction. No tying, no re-tying. Sits where you put it at fajr, all the way through Isha.

From one sister to another

We started Sitara because we kept losing our keys, missing prayers when the niqab slipped, and never being able to nurse the baby in public. Now we don't.

Why we exist

What modest wear gets wrong. What we do instead.

What we kept running into

  • Open-front abayas that fly open in the wind on the school run.
  • No pockets, so a purse becomes a third arm.
  • Niqabs that slip and need re-tying every fifteen minutes.
  • No way to nurse the baby without fully undressing under a layer.
  • Three-week shipping from the Gulf for a piece that arrives sized wrong.

What we made instead

  • Closed pull-over silhouettes — wind can't open what doesn't open.
  • Two deep pockets, plural and on purpose.
  • Tie-free niqabs that sit where you put them at fajr.
  • Concealed zip-to-waist nursing access — no flap, no panel, no compromise.
  • Designed in North America, sized for the body actually wearing it.

Save your seat

Be the first sister we tell.

We email maybe twice. Once to say we're live. Once to say what's actually new. Sister-to-sister, in shaa Allah.

We don't sell our list. We don't run countdown timers. We send maybe twice a year.
