During the holy month, women look for new prayer dresses to wear in Taraweeh prayer or at home as part of Ramadan preparation. Prayer dresses must meet some criteria when it comes to color, design, modesty and comfort.
Nakhla Collection is a newly launched prayer garment brand by Lina Bukhari, a Saudi entrepreneur specializing in fabrics, design and fashion.
Commercial prayer dresses often use bland colors and materials, and are difficult to size correctly. Nakhla Collection’s dresses, however, are designed for multiple uses, and can be used as an abaya.
Made of comfortable and flexible silk fabrics, Indian and Kuwaiti cotton, dantel cloth, and European and Spanish viscose, the brand offers four collections featuring more than 15 simple and unique handmade designs.
Customers can choose from a variety of floral-patterned models or plaid. There are also solid colors and mixed dark and light tones.
The brand’s dresses come in a loose cut structure with zip options for comfort.
Nakhla Collection also offers special seasonal packages such as a Ramadan basket that you can gift to your parents, family or friends. It includes a prayer dress of your choice, a prayer mat with a suitable color, subha beads and an oud burner.

Leslie Bibb shows off Ashi Studio look at Actor Awards
DUBAI/ LOS ANGELES: US actress Leslie Bibb showed off a gown by Saudi couturier Mohammed Ashi at the Screen Actors Guild gala in Los Angeles on Sunday.
The shimmering, body-hugging gown hailed from the designer’s Paris-based label, Ashi Studio.
Styled by Jeanann Williams, Bibb’s look was handpicked from Ashi’s Fall/Winter 1015 couture collection.
Ashi’s creations have been worn by celebrities and stars including Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Hudson, Kylie Minogue, Penelope Cruz, Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, and Queen Rania of Jordan.
Ashi became the first couturier from the Gulf region to join the Federation de la Haute Couture in Paris as a guest member in 2023. He was also the first Gulf designer included in the BoF 500 list, the Business of Fashion’s index of people shaping the fashion industry in 2023.
At the awards ceremony, “Sinners” claimed the Actor Award for best movie cast, a victory that sets up a face-off with “One Battle After Another” for the prestigious Best Picture prize at the upcoming Oscars.
Delroy Lindo accepted the Actor Award trophy with fellow “Sinners” cast members standing behind him on stage in Los Angeles. The Warner Bros movie tells the story of two brothers who set up a juke joint in the segregation-era US South and are confronted by a vampire in a tale that celebrates blues music and Black culture.
“Every single day we brought ourselves, we brought our hearts, we brought our souls, we brought our spirits to this endeavor,” Lindo said at the ceremony, which was streamed live on Netflix. “To be recognized by you all, thank you does not even begin to encompass the gratitude that we feel.”
“Sinners” star Michael B. Jordan, who plays two roles - brothers Smoke and Stack - was named best film actor. Jordan thanked his fellow nominees in a field that included “Marty Supreme” star Timothee Chalamet and “One Battle After Another” actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
“This ride has been unbelievable and I thank you for welcoming me in and making me feel seen,” Jordan said.
