Choose your model, fabric, collar and size, and we have it made for you, inshaAllah. Leave your email and we will let you know when you can order.
Bismillah!

A custom thobe is a thobe made to your choices and your measurements, not taken off a rack. At Aboe Safiya you will soon design your own custom thobe online, step by step, and we have it made for you in the UAE. Ordering is not open yet; it is coming soon, inshaAllah. Until then, you will find our Elite qamis below, which you can order today.
What you can choose
The configurator keeps the Dutch names of its steps, so here they are with a short note in English:
- Model: Emirati, Saudi, Classic, Djellaba, Royal, Prince, Modern or Omani.
- Stof (fabric): Imperial, Cashmere, Katoen (cotton), Linnen (linen), Satijn (satin) or Waterafstotend (water-repellent, in white).
- Sierstiksel: the colour of the decorative stitching, for Royal, Prince and Omani.
- Kraag (collar): 24 options, for the Classic and Saudi models.
- Sluiting (closure), Mouw (sleeve), Borstzak (chest pocket) and Knopen (buttons).
- Borduursel: your initials, up to three letters.
- Maat (size): a width size and a length size, or your own measurements.
Thobe or qamis?
It is the same garment. Thobe is the word used in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf; qamis is the word many people use in North Africa and Europe. On our Dutch pages you will read qamis, here thobe. The overview in Dutch is on custom qamis.

Price
A custom thobe starts at €79.95. The Djellaba, Royal, Prince and Omani models start at €89.95.
Made in the UAE, shipped to you
Every custom thobe is made for you in the United Arab Emirates. We ship to the Netherlands and Belgium, and express delivery in 7 to 12 days will be possible, inshaAllah.
A fair warning about returns
Because your thobe is made only for you, the 14-day right of withdrawal does not apply. Take your time with the measurements, so the hem falls just above the ankle and the thobe sits loose.
Where to go next
Read custom thobe for men, step by step. Do you already know your style? Look at the custom Saudi thobe or the custom Emirati thobe. To hear when ordering opens, sign up in the waiting-list block (Houd me op de hoogte) on this page. See the configurator. For the Elite qamis: order on a working day before 19:00 and it ships the same day.
Vragen en antwoorden
Is a custom thobe the same as a tailor-made thobe?
In practice, yes: both are made to your measurements instead of a standard size. The difference is how you order. With a tailor you go to a shop for fittings. With our configurator you choose everything online and send your measurements from home.
Can I order a custom thobe from outside the Netherlands or Belgium?
For now we ship to the Netherlands and Belgium. If you live elsewhere, you could send it to a friend or relative there who passes it on. Ask us by WhatsApp or email if you have a question about your country.
Do I need to speak Dutch to use the configurator?
No. The step names are in Dutch, but they are short and this page explains each of them in English. If something is still unclear, send us a message by WhatsApp or email in English and we will help you.
Can women order a custom thobe for their husband?
Yes, and many do. You only need his measurements, which you can take from a thobe that already fits him well. Choose the fabric and colour together, or keep it as a surprise. The configurator works the same for whoever fills it in.
Is the waiting list a commitment to buy?
No. Signing up only means we let you know when ordering opens, inshaAllah. You pay nothing and you are free to decide later. You can also unsubscribe at any time if you no longer want to hear from us.
