PRODUCTS


How do I find my size?

Each product page includes a detailed size guide with measurements. If you're between sizes or unsure, feel free to email us at hello@shaz.store with your measurements and we'll help you find the perfect fit.


Do you offer custom sizing?

We occasionally accommodate custom sizing requests depending on the style and fabric availability. Email us at hello@shaz.store or DM us on Instagram @shaz.store to enquire.

Please note: Custom orders may take 3–4 weeks longer and are final sale.


Are your pieces true to colour?

We photograph all pieces in natural light and do our best to represent colours accurately. However, colours may appear slightly different depending on your screen settings. If you'd like to see the actual fabric, DM us on Instagram and we'll send you a video or additional photos.


Why do handcrafted pieces have slight variations?

Each SHAZ piece is made by hand by skilled artisans in Dubai. Minor variations in stitching, embellishment placement, or fabric grain are part of what makes your piece unique — not defects. These characteristics distinguish handcrafted fashion from mass-produced clothing.


Do your kimonos come with an inner or underdress?

Please check the product description for each piece. Some styles include a matching inner or slip dress — this will be clearly stated. If not mentioned, inners are sold separately.

Not sure? Just ask us at support@shaz.store.

ABOUT SHAZ

Where are SHAZ pieces made?

Every SHAZ piece is designed and handcrafted in Dubai, UAE, by skilled artisans. We're proud to be a homegrown brand bringing handcrafted modest fashion to the world.


What makes SHAZ different?

SHAZ specialises in handcrafted kimonos and upperwear that blend elegance with versatility. Each piece is made to order — no mass production, no excess inventory. You get a garment crafted specifically for you, with the attention to detail that only handmade fashion can offer.



Question: How should I care for my SHAZ kimono?


Answer:

Taking care of your SHAZ kimono is simple and keeps it looking beautiful for years.

Washing Your Kimono: Always check the care label inside first. Silk pieces need gentle hand wash in cool water or dry cleaning. Linen and cotton can go in the washing machine on gentle cycle with cool water. Never use hot water or harsh detergents.


Storing Your Kimono: Hang your kimono on a padded hanger to keep its shape. Store it in your closet away from direct sunlight to prevent colors from fading. Give it space so it doesn't get crushed.

Making It Last Longer: If you need to iron, use low heat and press from the inside. For pieces with hand-sewn details, take them to a professional dry cleaner. With proper care, your SHAZ kimono will stay beautiful for many years


Question: What makes SHAZ different from other modest fashion brands?


Answer:

SHAZ stands out in five important ways that make us special.

First Kimono Brand in Middle East: We're the Middle East's first brand focused only on kimonos. While other brands sell many different things, we perfect just kimonos.

Statement Upperwear Concept: Our kimonos are designed to be the star of your outfit, not just a cover-up. They transform simple clothes into beautiful looks.

Handcrafted in Dubai: Every piece is made by hand in Dubai by skilled artisans who care about quality.

Question: Where are SHAZ kimonos made?


Answer:

Every SHAZ kimono is handcrafted in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Made by Local Artisans: Skilled craftspeople in Dubai make each piece by hand. These artisans have years of experience and care deeply about creating beautiful kimonos.

Quality Checked In-House: We check quality at every step right here in our Dubai workshop. We inspect fabrics when they arrive, watch carefully during making, and examine finished pieces before they leave. This means every kimono meets our high standards.

Supporting Dubai's Economy: When you buy SHAZ, you support local Dubai workers and their families. Your purchase helps keep traditional craftsmanship skills alive and contributes to Dubai's creative community.

The "Made in Dubai" label on your SHAZ kimono means real local craftsmanship, careful quality control, and supporting the city we call home.


Question: What is "The SHAZ Effect"?

Before and After Magic: Before: simple clothes that feel ordinary. After: the same clothes now look elevated and put-together. The transformation happens in seconds.

Confidence Boost: When you look stylish, you feel confident. The SHAZ Effect isn't just about looking good—it's about feeling great in your modest fashion.

Real Example: A basic black dress plus an Effortless Wear kimono equals a complete professional look. One piece transforms your entire outfit. That's why customers say SHAZ pieces are their styling secret weapon.

Where Fabrics Come From: We work with specialized suppliers known for luxury materials. We choose suppliers who treat workers fairly and care about the environment.

Care Instructions: Silk needs gentle hand wash or dry cleaning. Linen and cotton can be machine washed on gentle cycle. Embellished pieces need professional dry cleaning. Always check the care label inside.

For Every Body: The flowing design flatters different body shapes beautifully. Whether petite or tall, curvy or slim, SHAZ kimonos create elegant proportions without clinging or restricting movement.

Making It Yours: Many pieces come with matching belts. You can also use your own belt to cinch the waist or wear it completely open for maximum flow and comfort.
