If you wear a hijab in Singapore, you know the feeling: stepping out of an air-conditioned MRT station into thick, humid heat, and wishing your hijab felt lighter.
We heard the same thing from friends, colleagues and sisters. They loved wearing the hijab, but the fabrics they found were often heavy, warm or fussy to style. Many were designed for cooler climates, not for a place where it’s summer all year.
So we set out to create something different: hijabs made from soft, lightweight liquid jersey, in calm colours that look fresh in tropical light, and designed to be quick to style on busy mornings.
Today, Cool Hijab SG is an online brand serving women across Singapore, with plans to bring our hijabs to more of Southeast Asia.
