The Vision Behind MOA

Meet Afra Shabeeb

Founder & Designer

Mall of Abayas was founded by Afra Shabeeb, a designer with a deep passion for modest fashion and a clear vision to make elegant, high-quality abayas accessible to women everywhere.

What started with a few designs and orders through social media and WhatsApp, soon grew into a trusted brand loved by thousands of women. With a focus on design, quality and customer experience, Afra transformed Mall of Abayas into an international modest fashion brand with a presence in India, the GCC and beyond.

Her journey is a testament to what passion, perseverance and purpose can create.
