NANCY ABAYA

The Nancy Abaya acts like a timeless backdrop, displaying heritage and craftsmanship.

Handcrafted from high quality European linen in black and taupe, finished with an Indian banjara embroidery textile placed as a pocket - not for functionality, but for celebration.

The zigzag block print cuff is a classic feature for AYWA that brings all the elements together, creating a harmonious balance, without taking attention away from the historical work of art.

This abaya celebrates the skills of each individual that has worked on the vintage textile, featuring intricate embroideries, mirror work and cowry shells.  Perhaps it was a family heirloom or a currency for trading - that is the mystery of vintage materials. 

Handcrafted in Waddesdon, England, The Nancy abaya is an exclusive one of a kind piece, just like art - there won’t be another piece like it. A perfect addition to your wardrobe. It will tell a quiet story without you having to say anything.
