Care & Repair
At Alabayae, we design our abayas and hijabs to be timeless pieces you can enjoy for years to come. Proper care is key to keeping them looking elegant and beautiful. Follow our care and repair guidelines to extend the life of your garments.
Garment Care Instructions
Washing
Hand Wash Recommended: Hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent.
Machine Wash: If using a machine, place your garment in a laundry bag and select a gentle cycle with cold water.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or strong detergents, as they may damage delicate fabrics.
Drying
Air Dry: Lay flat or hang to dry in a shaded area to avoid direct sunlight, which may fade colors.
Avoid Tumble Drying: High heat can shrink or damage the fabric.
Ironing
Low Heat: Use a low-temperature setting when ironing.
Steam Option: Steaming is preferred to maintain fabric quality and remove wrinkles gently.
Storage
Hang Properly: Use padded or wide hangers to maintain the abaya’s shape.
Avoid Overcrowding: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing or fabric stress.
Repair Tips
Loose Threads: Carefully trim loose threads do not pull them.
Small Tears: Repair small tears promptly with matching thread to prevent further damage.
Professional Alterations: For major repairs, consider professional tailoring to preserve the original look and fit.
Long-Term Care
With regular care, your Alabayae pieces will stay as beautiful as the day you bought them. We recommend inspecting your garments after each wash to keep them in perfect condition.
