A fashion house rooted in identity, heritage, and the belief that modesty and elegance are inseparable.
Abaya Klosette was born from a deeply personal vision — to create a space where modest fashion is not a limitation, but a celebration. Founded by Rufai Khadijat Olajumoke in Leicester, UK, the brand emerged from years of passion for design, culture, and the belief that every woman deserves to feel confident, beautiful, and entirely herself.
Rooted in rich African heritage and inspired by the elegance of contemporary modest fashion, each Abaya Klosette piece is a careful fusion of tradition and modernity — crafted to honour both where we come from and where we are going.
Explore the Collections Abaya Klosette · Our StoryWe are committed to creating clothing that empowers women to express their identity with confidence — where modesty meets style, and culture meets contemporary design. Every piece we create carries the intention of making the wearer feel truly seen and celebrated.
MissionWe envision a world where African heritage and modest fashion are celebrated on the global stage — where women everywhere can find pieces that honour their culture, express their individuality, and stand the test of time. Abaya Klosette aspires to be at the forefront of that movement.
Vision“I started Abaya Klosette because I wanted women who look like me — women who love their faith, their culture, and their femininity — to have fashion that truly represents them.”
Rufai Khadijat Olajumoke is the creative force behind Abaya Klosette. With a lifelong passion for modest fashion and deep pride in her African heritage, Khadijat founded the brand to fill a gap she felt personally — the absence of truly beautiful, culturally rich modest fashion in the mainstream market.
Based in Leicester, UK, she brings together her Nigerian roots, her love of craftsmanship, and her eye for contemporary design to create collections that resonate with women across cultures and generations.
