Fashion stores Île D'Abu Dhabi

Welcome to Mr. Farouk! Based in Abu Dhabi for over 25 years, this designer and his team are all Indian. This is an address that expatriates like to pass on to each other. If you dream of copying magazine dresses or remaking an outfit in a different colour at very reasonable prices, don't hesitate. You can buy your fabric at the Madinat Zayed souk and bring either an outfit or a magazine photo. They will take your measurements, calculate the estimate and call you a few days later for the first try on.

Amin is the place to go in Abu Dhabi to get a bespoke suit or to copy trousers and blouses in a different colour. It's also the go-to tailoring house for the military and government officials. While they make a lot of kanduras, they are also very good for European tastes. As they sell fabric as well, all you have to do is bring your model or a small photo. They will take all the measurements on the spot. Another advantage is that they accept credit cards. They usually take about 10 days.

In an area where dressmakers abound, this is the one that is a bit of a favorite. Located in a very local area, it also sells furnishing fabrics by the meter and offers the possibility to make sheets, tablecloths, towels and dresses. It is therefore very popular with expatriates who redo all their linens at very competitive prices for a quality well above what can be found in the well-known international brands.

Nazzy Belgari is Iranian and has a twenty-year career in journalism behind her. An artist and fashion designer, this is one of the best kept addresses in Abu Dhabi. Her fairy fingers run over the fabrics she hunts down during her trips to the ends of the earth to imagine unique models: coats, abayas, skirts and dresses. A wonderful personality behind a woman of great talent. A pleasure for the eyes, unique clothes sometimes inspired by Arabic calligraphy make wonderful gifts to bring back.

At the age of 17, while studying in Pakistan, Aroosi Iqbal launched her first collection for women. Today, she has two boutiques in Abu Dhabi and counts members of the royal family among her customers. Her designs are always inspired by the region's dress codes, ranging from shalwar kameez, kaftans and jalabiyas, to modern dresses, all with a couture feel. For those who wish, the brand also offers custom-made dresses, made by hand. A very nice gift to bring back home
