Niqaab Single Layer 002

What is a single layer niqaab?

It is a face veil made from one layer of fabric rather than two or more. The single layer makes it lighter and more breathable than a heavier veil.

Who is a single layer best for?

It suits anyone who finds a double layer too warm or too heavy, and it is the usual choice in summer. Preference on coverage is personal, so many women own both.

Can I see through it?

A single layer sits over the face with the eyes clear, rather than covering them as a double layer flap does. How it wears is described on this page.

Does it work with my existing abaya and hijab?

Yes, it is made to be simple to match with what you already wear. Black is the most versatile for that reason.

Is it comfortable for daily wear?

That is what the single layer is for: light, breathable coverage that can be worn through the day. Heavier veils are usually kept for shorter periods.

How does it fasten?

The fastening method is described on this page. Getting a comfortable tension at the back is what most affects how it feels over a long day.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash cool and hang to dry rather than machine washing, which is gentler on light fabric and on the ties. Avoid high heat when ironing.

Do you stock other styles of niqaab?

Yes, the niqab selection covers other layers and cuts alongside this one. What is currently in stock shows on our ladieswear page.

Is it suitable for Umrah?

Many women pack a lightweight veil for travel, and a single layer is the easier one in heat. There is no prescribed garment for women in ihram, so ordinary modest dress applies.

What size is it?

Dimensions are listed on this page. Coverage varies with face shape, so the measurements matter more than they might seem.

How much is delivery and how long does it take?

Standard shipping is R160 and orders are delivered within 3 to 5 business days. Delivery is free on orders over R1000.

Can I return this item?

For hygiene reasons face veils can only be returned unworn, in their original unopened packaging, within 7 days. Please note that sale items are non refundable.
