The djellaba is Morocco's everyday robe: loose, with a pointed hood and side pockets. Ours follow the Moroccan cut and ship from the Netherlands, also to Belgium. Customers in Germany order on aboesafiya.de.
What makes it Moroccan
A straight, roomy cut, wide sleeves and the pointed hood called the qob. A row of decorative buttons at the neck, side pockets for your hands. Mountain versions are heavy wool against the cold; coastal and city versions are light cotton.
How to wear it
Over a qamis or over trousers and a shirt; the djellaba is the outer layer. In the Netherlands it works as a winter coat for Friday prayer and Eid. Sneakers make it modern, babouches make it traditional.
Sizing
Choose by your height: every product page lists the height range per size. Between two sizes, take the longer one. The hem should fall around the ankle.
Vragen en antwoorden
Is a djellaba only for winter?
No. A djellaba of thicker fabric keeps you warm in winter, and a light djellaba keeps the sun off in summer and when you travel. The fabric is listed on every product page, so you can choose the right one for the season.
What is the difference between a djellaba and a kandora?
A djellaba has a pointed hood and is often worn as the outer layer, like a coat. A kandora has no hood, is lighter and has embroidery at the neck and chest. Men wear a kandora to the mosque, at Eid and with family.
Do you ship outside the Netherlands?
Yes. From this shop we ship to the Netherlands and Belgium. Orders placed before 19:00 on a working day are shipped the same day. Customers in Germany order on our German shop, aboesafiya.de.
