Handwork, by the thousand
A Dubai house since 1990, and ten stores across the UAE and Oman — two of them inside The Dubai Mall. Every one of the 1,398 pieces Hanayen publishes is in here, and an assistant that shops them by occasion, handwork and cloth, the way the house does.
What is it for?
Hanayen’s own shelves, with the number of pieces on each. Pick one and the assistant opens with that question already asked — then narrows on the handwork, the cloth and the colour, the way somebody on the floor in The Dubai Mall would.

Ask what a filter cannot answer.
Hand work against machine work, what is actually in the parcel, two fabrics nobody can tell apart from a photograph, the size of a piece that is cut to order — or continue in Arabic.

Read out of Hanayen’s own titles and product copy, piece by piece. Hand embroidery, machine embroidery and handmade are held apart deliberately — the difference is most of the price of an abaya, and there is no filter for it on the store’s own site.
Four garments, four price bands
- Abaya 1197450 – 12,830 AED
- Sheila 139100 – 4,500 AED
- Jalabiya 321,200 – 3,675 AED
- Under-abaya inner 30175 – 850 AED
The feed files every jalabiya and every inner as an abaya. These four are the store’s own department shelves, so “show me your abayas” never returns a headscarf — and “something cheaper” is worked out inside a garment, never across all four.
Cut to order, not off a rail
- 1,232pieces whose own page says Fit Type: Regular, Custom— made to the customer’s measurements, floor length, no size to pick
- 38on the Clearance shelf with one real size each, XS to 5XL with the bust, hip and length in inches
- 22of those thirty-eight still have that size in stock — which is the only size the assistant will quote
There is no size chart on a made-to-order abaya and the assistant will not invent one. It says the piece is cut to measure and offers to put the shopper through to a person.
