Medina silk: the perfect balance

Matte, structured, almost non-slip thanks to its crinkled texture. It holds all day with one pin and machine washes. It is the fabric of our signature Midnight Blue hijab — see the complete Medina silk guide.

Jersey: comfort, full stop

Stretchy, soft, pin-free. A good jersey must be thick — thin ones cling and warp. Our Premium Jersey Hijab is densely knit for a flawless drape.

Satin: made for big nights

Satin shines and slides: sumptuous at weddings and Eid celebrations, but it calls for a non-slip underscarf. Our Medina Satin Hijab pairs satin shine with a grippier reverse side.

Chiffon: summer lightness

Airy and breathable — ideal in the heat, a little more technical to style. Discover our Crepe Chiffon Hijab.
