How to Start an Online Abaya Store: Your Questions Answered

Abayas are a beautiful, in-demand category, and an online store is one of the lowest-risk ways to enter it. If you are planning your shop, these are the questions to work through first.

How much money do I need to start?

Less than you might think for an online-only store. Your main costs are opening stock, a website, and a marketing budget. Starting with a focused range keeps the initial outlay manageable. Figures vary, so plan around your own market.

Where do I find abayas to sell?

Work with a specialist modest-fashion wholesaler that offers consistent quality, low minimums, and reliable shipping. Buying a small test batch first is the smartest way to check fit and fabric.

Which styles should I stock first?

Begin with versatile, everyday abayas in classic colours, then add a few statement and occasion pieces. Let your sales tell you where to expand.

How do I handle sizing online?

Publish a clear size guide with body measurements in both centimetres and inches, and describe the fit of each style. Good sizing information reduces returns dramatically.

How should I ship to customers?

Offer tracked shipping and set honest delivery expectations. If you sell internationally, be clear about who covers any import duties.

How do I get my first customers?

Build anticipation on social media before launch, share styling content, work with a few modest-fashion creators, and collect emails from day one.
