The Savvy Hijabi: Marabo going out of business and other sales
Thursday, August 6th, 2009If you recall Hijabtrendz had an interview with Marabo fashion awhile back, and now it appears the clothing company is going out of business.
It’s sad to hear the news, but if you’d like to turn it into something good, then buy something before they’re gone! 
They will be officially offline in 5 days, so if you’d like a great deal now is your last chance.
In other news… get ready for fall with these great deals:
The Liz Claiborn site has pin pleated tunics on sale now in prints and solids.
The same style of those thin cardigans that are $65.00 are in Walmart for $10.00
Go to pyramidimports.com for lots of longer jackets, tunics, etc. some at great prices, a bit edgier; u have to look carefully through the weird stuff to find it.
E-shakti.com can tailor your stuff to your body. If you want it longer, w/long sleeves and their prices are reasonable. -they are getting more ‘mainstream stuff’ that isn’t so ethnic and are adding knits finally.
Usually women who wear bigger sizes are the ones who get shafted in fashion, but it just so happens that the online places actually start at size 12, so it’s more open in sizing than people think. Onestopplus.com or roamans.com are plus size shops that have so many really pretty long tunics and sweaters, and they are really cheap.
At H&M I got a long sleeved tunic for $25.00, light and airy with pintucks in a brown w/raspberry and multicolor print. It would have been see-through, but getting it in brown changed that. The long sleeved thin, ribbed cardigan was less than $25.00 as well.
If You Sew.. Check This Out
Thursday, June 4th, 2009We just got a message from Simplicity Patterns… they have a new collection by designer Khalilah Ali for plus size women.
The outfits look great for hijabis and if you’re a talented seamstress you can probably tweak them a little to suit your personal style.
Fashion’s Invisible Woman
Wednesday, March 4th, 2009This is a great article by the L.A. Times that the Savvy Hijabi shared with us today.
We definitely see an issue with plus size options, and we also think hijabis and those who are looking for “stylish modesty” could fit into this article as well.
