New Barang-barang Bonda!

2010-11-23T21:22:00.000-08:00

I have decided to stop selling abayas altogether. I have started sewing :)

I have made a few quilts:

Throw

baby quilt

I also made aprons and bags, but I'll upload pictures of them later.

Since I sew them myself, items are pretty much limited edition. You may request for a particular item or design and I will work with you on making it happen.
Due to the high cost of postage in Dubai, at the moment I can only deliver within Dubai :( (Unless you are willing to pay for postage).

To order, email barang2bonda@gmail.com .

WE HAVE MOVED TO DUBAI!

2010-03-15T02:01:00.000-07:00

How does this change your shopping experience at Barang-barang Bonda?

- I still have contacts in Saudi, so if you are still interested in custom made abayas, I can still handle custom made orders.
- For ready-made abayas from Dubai, you can visit my friend's shop: The Abaya Souq. She has beautiful designs at reasonable prices.
- I will continue sewing Selendang Saudah ;) and I hear Dubai has really nice fabrics so perhaps you will see pretty designs on offer soon!
- Postage charges will change. I will update this information as soon as I can.
- I am looking forward to exploring my new home, so look out for interesting items from this part of the middle east!

Selendang Saudah

2009-07-12T07:29:00.001-07:00

Selendang Saudah or Saudah Shawl/Shayla
is basically the long rectangular scarf/shawl/shayla with an 'awning' already attached to it. (The 'awning' is the top front part of the shawl. It is made stiff to keep its shape)
The awning eases the positioning and the shaping of the shawl, as demonstrated in the slide show below.

How to wear Selendang Saudah or Saudah Shawl:

I have 2 types of Selendang Saudahs :

From Scratch - I buy materials for both the long scarf and the awning, and make it from scratch. Prices differ based on the cost of the materials. This type of Selendang Saudah are wide (70-75cm), therefore would provide proper 'coverage' for the discerning muslim woman. Length is usually 2meters, but can be shortened up to 1.75 meters upon request.
You can see what materials are available for Selendang Saudah made from scratch here.

From Ready Made - I buy ready made long scarves and attach matching awnings to them. Again, prices differ based on the cost of materials. The width and length of the Saudah Shawl would depend largely on the width and length of the ready made scarves, which are usually 60-70cm wide and 1.6-1.7meters long.
You can see what ready-made scarves are available for Selendang Saudah here.

Right Hand or Left Hand?

The Selendang Saudah are not sewn shut, therefore one size fits all.
You do have to find out, however, if you want your Selendang Saudah to be right handed or left handed.

Right handed Selendang Saudah has the longer part of the shawl on your right side and assuming your face is a clock, you would wrap it around your head anti-clockwise, with the shawl ending on your right side.
Left handed Selendang Saudah has the longer part of the shawl on your left side and assuming your face is a clock, you would wrap it around your head clockwise, with the shawl ending on your left side.

How to order your Selendang Saudah:
1. Go to either the "Selendang Saudah From Scratch" or "Selendang Saudah from Ready Made" page to make your pick.
2. Email barang2bonda@gmail.com with:

1. The item code, Right/left hand, length (if applicable)
2. Your name
3. The address where you want the item(s) to be sent.

Postage for Selendang Saudah is

Nonah College Fund

2009-04-26T07:11:00.000-07:00

I have a friend who, after years of soul searching, has finally decided that she would like to pursue a career doing something she truly loves, working with and for children. She's taking the first step towards it by enrolling in a Diploma Course in Children’s Welfare studies at Tafe, Perth.
Not being someone who expects things handed to her, she's determined to finance her way to college on her own.
She's doing a few things in order to raise money to pay her school fees and expenses. You can find out more of what she's willing to do at http://raisingfees.wordpress.com/.
If you are able and willing to help her in any way, please do.

We at Barang-barang Bonda will be contributing 50% of our profits to her college fund.
So, for every item you buy, a portion of it will go into sending my friend to school.

May Allah repay you for your kindness.

Caring For Your Abaya

2009-02-09T01:58:00.000-08:00

Caring instructions vary depending on:

Material -
Some materials are more delicate than others. High quality crepes and satins are more sturdy. Scratches or pulls are more obvious on satins, therefore might require more care. As much as possible, I look for abayas with better quality materials that can withstand machine wash.

Embellishments -
Beadings, sequins and crystals require more care than others. Check that the threads are strong and secure before attempting machine or handwashing heavily beaded/sequined abayas.
High quality crystals usually last longer than cheap ones and can withstand machine wash. I usually avoid buying cheap crystal abayas.
Embroidered abayas are usually easier to care, but they cannot be washed in warm/hot water , for fear of puckering the material.
Plain black abayas with no embellishments are the easiest to care for, as long as you don't throw them is the washer with a white fluffy t-shirt/towel (or a pair of pants with a tissue paper in the pocket!)

Workmanship -
Well tailored abayas are very sturdy and can withstand machine washing. Badly tailored ones may fray or rip after a few (or even one) wash. I strive to only sell you quality abayas.

Here are some guidelines to washing your abaya:

Dry cleaning

Dry cleaning is recommended for abayas with a lot of beading, sequins or crystals.

Handwash

You can also hand wash your abaya using a mild detergent, one that is specifically for delicate material.
If your abaya has a lot of embellishments, avoid rubbing on the embellishments too much.
If you need to rub/brush the abaya, test a small hidden spot (like at the very bottom) to ensure that you wont damage the material.Only rub/brush at the stained area.
Gently wring out water from the abaya and hang to dry.

Machine Wash

Abayas that has embroidery, patchwork or no embellishments can be machine washed.
Always use the delicate cycle for washing your abayas.
Use the cold water setting.
Use mild detergent specifically for delicates (or special abaya detergent if it's available in your area).
Wash abayas on their own or only with other black garments. There is nothing worse than getting white lint on your black abaya!
Hang to dry.

Dryer

To dry your abaya in the electric dryer, use the delicate cycle or the lowest setting.
This will avoid the threads on the embellishments shrinking and puckering the material.

Frequently Asked Questions

2009-02-09T01:42:00.000-08:00

ABAYAT | Scarves | Buy

What do the sizes/measurements mean?
Chest - is the circumference of the abaya right underneath the armpit (or width of the abaya multiplied by 2). This is usually the smallest part of the abaya.
Length - is the length of the abaya from the shoulders to the bottom hem.

What is the difference between hemmed and unhemmed?
hemmed - the bottom edge of the abaya is already folded and sewn for you.
unhemmed - the bottom edge of the abaya is not sewn, therefore you must take into account hem allowance (roughly 3cms) when deciding whether it is too short for you.
Please note that a long abaya can be shortened, but a short abaya can never be lengthened.

Is the material suitable for Malaysian humid weather?
As much as possible, I would choose materials that are breathable and suitable in humid weather.
Usually, the matt fabrics are more breathable than the shiny ones. I would recommend that the shiny abayas be worn in the evening.
Please do understand that since these abayas are black, I do not recommend wearing them if you plan to stand in the sun for a long period of time.

What is 'button front'?
'Button front' means the abaya is split in front and has tack buttons as enclosures, just like a really long shirt. This style of abaya looks really nice when worn with long pants or jeans, or even with skirts. You can leave a few buttons unfastened at the bottom to show off your pants/jeans (or boots!) They look flowy and elegant, almost like Neo's (The Matrix) long coat ;)

What is 'pullover'?
A 'Pullover' abaya does not have splits. It's like a really long dress. The neck usually has small split so that you can push your head through. This style is simple and comfortable, and can be worn with anything (or nothing) underneath.
You can make a pullover abaya from a button front abaya by sewing shut the split. Leave a few buttons on the top of the abaya so that you can fit your head through.

Can I wash my abaya in the washing machine?
Please read "Caring For Your Abaya" for guidelines on how to best wash your abaya without damaging it.

SCARVES | Abayat | Buy | Back to top

Why are all your scarves black?
Since most scarves are made to match the abayat, which are black, they are mostly black ;)
If and when I find nice colourful scarves or shawls (that are unique and not available in Malaysia), I will definitely feature them here :)

SIZE GUIDELINE

Most abaya cutting is straight, so all you really need to know is how wide the abaya is (at the chest).
If the abaya cutting is shaped, we will provide the waist and hip measurements.
Abaya length could always be shortened by re-hemming the bottom (this service is not provided at the moment), but it can never be lengthened, so its length will also be provided.
Please note that some abaya's are sold unhemmed.

Make sure you order the right size, because goods sold cannot be returned or exchanged.

Please enquire for other sizes.

Tip: Button front abayas can be sent to a tailor to be sewn and turned into a pullover abaya, but a pullover abaya cannot be tailored into a button front abaya :)

About Barang-barang Bonda

2009-01-01T00:00:00.000-08:00

Assalamu-'alaikum,

Welcome to Barang-barang Bonda!

"Barang-barang" means "things" and "Bonda" is "mom" in Bahasa Malaysia.

I am Elisa Taufik, and I am known as 'bonda' to my kids.
I am a mom, and these are my things :)

I started wearing the abaya when I moved to Saudi Arabia in 2005. I use to think that it was restrictive and ugly, but I don't anymore. I discovered that Saudi Abayat (the arabic plural for abaya) come in many stylish designs and decorations, it has become a fashion statement for me :)
It is not only comfortable, it also makes me look instantly elegant, and covers whatever I may or may not be wearing inside (or whatever I may want to hide *wink*).

Now I would like to afford you the opportunity to try them out for yourself!
I offer you affordable abayat from Saudi Arabia.

I have 2 types of 'collections':
Budget Collection - Less than RM200
Luxury Collection - Above RM200

I have all sorts of styles, be it pullover or with buttons in front or with side flaps.
I have abayat with all sorts of embellishments, be it embroidery, lace, patchwork or with crystals.
I have all sorts of patterns, be it plain, flowery, abstract or simple.

I also plan to offer scarves, shawls, galabiyas (non-black jubah) and slip-on headscarves (Tudung Munah) in the near future.

All of the items you see here are hand-picked by me, and would be things that I would wear or use myself, so you can be assured of their quality.
Though some of the items sold here are store-bought, there will also be items that I make myself.

If you have questions about pricing, read here: Pricing and Payments.

Do look through the products I have on offer. I am sure you will find something that suits your style and your budget :)

Happy Shopping!
