Jannah Gifts sent me over a couple of scarves to review. The pieces I chose were a an elaborately pattern black/white hijab and a vibrant watercolouresque scarf. The black/white piece (the Madeline Wrap) is very lightweight and somewhat sheer so although great for summer it does mean layering up just to get an opaque look going on. The thinness of it means that it can snag easily when you introduce hijab pins into the mix but despite the thinness and snag ability I still really like it. I wore it with an all black outfit to a very special high tea in Malaysia the other week and it just went so nicely with the whole event - simple chic. The thinness was a welcome relief in KL's hot, muggy weather.
Overall, it drapes nicely and is great to wear in conjunction with a work/semi-formal type themed outfit. I see it as more as a simple chic piece to kick off a well put together outfit rather than something to be thrown at an already overcrowded ensemble.
The more arty of the two, the Grace Wrap, is a stronger fabric, thicker and more suited to Perth's current chillier, rainy weather. It has a nice silky sheen to it, doesn't snag as easily with pins and also drapes nicely when worn. This is definitely a good quality fun summer/spring time hued hijab.
P.S: Tried to paint my nails with my baby boy climbing onto of me... failed. Hence the massive streak on my thumb.
