The Belgravia Abaya draws inspiration from the Bisht, one of the most recognisable garments of the Arabian Peninsula, reinterpreted through a contemporary silhouette designed for modern life.
Available in Deep Black and Navy Blue, the abaya is distinguished by a handwoven trim inspired by Al Khous, the traditional Emirati art of palm frond weaving passed down through generations. The pattern references the geometry of woven palm fronds, introducing texture and cultural craftsmanship to an elegant, understated silhouette.
Created in Abu Dhabi, the Belgravia Abaya reflects Bint Saeed’s commitment to carrying traditional craftsmanship forward through contemporary design. Its relaxed Bisht-inspired cut creates graceful movement while maintaining a refined structure, while hidden pockets and a fully lined construction ensure comfort and ease of wear.
Designed to move effortlessly between occasions, countries, and lifestyles, the Belgravia Abaya can be worn for a wedding in Riyadh, a dinner in London, an event in Paris, or everyday life in the Gulf. Timeless rather than trend-driven, it is created for women who value elegance, craftsmanship, and pieces that remain relevant wherever they are worn.
Like all Bint Saeed abayas, the Belgravia Abaya is made to order and can be personalised with a name, date, or meaningful message inside the hidden pocket.

Its timeless Bisht-inspired silhouette allows it to be worn for a dinner in London, an event in Paris, a summer gathering in Cannes, a celebration in Riyadh, or everyday life in the Gulf.

What is Al Khous, and why is it important to Emirati heritage?
Al Khous is one of the United Arab Emirates' oldest traditional crafts, created by weaving the leaves of the date palm into functional and decorative objects. Passed down through generations, it remains an important expression of Emirati culture and craftsmanship. The Belgravia Abaya draws inspiration from the patterns and weaving techniques of this heritage through contemporary woven detailing.
What makes the Belgravia Abaya different from other abayas?
The Belgravia Abaya is distinguished by its handwoven trim inspired by Al Khous palm frond weaving, its relaxed Bisht-inspired silhouette, hidden pockets, full lining, and optional concealed snap-button closure. Designed and made in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, it combines cultural craftsmanship with timeless elegance, creating a piece that feels relevant in the Gulf, Europe, and beyond.
Why is the Belgravia Abaya inspired by the Bisht?
The Bisht is one of the most recognisable garments of the Arabian Peninsula and has long been associated with dignity, occasion, and craftsmanship. The Belgravia Abaya reinterprets elements of this silhouette through a contemporary lens, creating an open-front abaya that honours its inspiration while remaining relevant to the way women dress today.
Is the Belgravia Abaya suitable for daily wear, dinners, weddings, and special occasions?
Yes. The Belgravia Abaya is designed for everyday elegance, dinners, gatherings, weddings, engagement celebrations, Eid gatherings, cultural occasions, destination events, and special occasions. Its flowing Bisht-inspired silhouette and handwoven trim allow it to move naturally between daily GCC life, international travel, and elevated events.
