WAAD Designs is the Qatari abaya brand that makes sure every modest staple is both luxurious and modern. What makes WAAD among the brands we are in love with is that the brand has a wide audience of Muslim women and works hard to dress every shape, size, age and background. 

The brand has been alive since 2010, sold online and is opening its first flagship store in Vendom Lusail City.

But who’s the master mind behind the high-quality abayas? The award-winning fashion designer WAAD, who was awarded designer of the year award for The Arab Women Awards in Qatar 2013 and who has a passion for designing for the modest woman.
