The beauty and brains behind this modest fashion label is Malaysian actress, TV presenter, commercial model and fashion entrepreneur, Neelofar. The label started off with abayas and tekelung (praying garments). It has since become a full-fledged modest fashion label and even offers handbags, hijabs and halal perfumes. In 2019, the brand launched mother-daughter jubahs and brought back its highly requested collection of printed abayas, making it easy for enterprising women to shop since everything they’d need can be bought off the website. And the best part is that it offers international shipping so all you have to do cart out, relax and wait for your parcel to arrive—yes, it’s that easy!
