Our story
Modesty, made graceful.
A small UK label rooted in Somali heritage, faith and a deep love of beautiful fabric.
Hello, I’m Ifrah
It started with my mother’s wardrobe.
Growing up in the UK, I watched the women in my family dress with a quiet confidence: flowing abayas, perfectly pinned hijabs, colours chosen with care. For them, modesty was never about hiding. It was about grace.
When I couldn’t find pieces that felt that way, elegant, well made and fairly priced, I started sourcing them myself. First for friends, then for friends of friends, and now for you.
Every abaya and hijab at Saras Abaya is chosen by hand. I test how it drapes, how it washes and how it feels after a long day. If I wouldn’t wear it to a wedding or the masjid, it doesn’t make the collection.
“I want every woman who wears our pieces to feel covered, comfortable and quietly beautiful.”
Ifrah, founder

Rooted in home
Our dusty blue is a quiet nod to the Somali flag. Our designs honour the women who taught us elegance.
