From a relaunched high jewellery Maison to a contemporary abaya brand
The UAE’s fashion and jewellery landscape continues to evolve, with homegrown brands offering fresh perspectives rooted in heritage, craftsmanship and modern design. From contemporary abayas to high jewellery Maisons, here are three UAE-based labels to have on your radar.

Lé Paris Diamonds
Originally founded in 1998, Lé Paris Diamonds has recently relaunched under the guidance of second-generation family members, brothers Mohamed and Mansoor Al Zarouni. Blending Emirati heritage with Parisian-inspired elegance, Lé Paris Diamonds is known for working with private collectors and GCC royalty, specialising in high jewellery, rare gemstones and bespoke creations.
This year marks a relaunch with a refreshed, modern identity and a stronger connection to customers in the region. While maintaining its heritage and expertise in high jewellery, Lé Paris Diamonds continues to evolve, offering contemporary pieces that appeal to a new generation of collectors while remaining rooted in tradition.

NAFS Designs
Founded by sisters Fatma and Noor Al Taher, NAFS offers culturally relevant yet contemporary modest fashion with an eco-conscious ethos. With a mission to reinvent traditional Arabian womenswear, the brand experiments with shape and construction while maintaining the functionality of classic garments.
The abaya silhouette remains central to each collection, yet tailored elements such as open-seam detailing, distressed fabrics, ruffles, and pleats introduce a modern, cutting-edge perspective. NAFS balances innovation with tradition, creating pieces that are both expressive and wearable.

Al Mraikn
Founded in 2011 by sisters Muna Saeed and Maryam Saeed, Al Mraikn has grown from a small boutique into a recognised abaya label. Built on a shared vision, the brand embodies the spirit of the empowered modern Arab woman, offering designs that balance familiarity, elegance and contemporary luxury.
Over the years, Al Mraikn has expanded its operations, established its own factory and refining its signature aesthetic. Known for immaculately tailored silhouettes and attention to detail, it creates abayas that inspire confidence and individuality. Today, Al Mraikn continues to evolve while remaining true to its core purpose, crafting modern designs that empower women and reflect the identity of the contemporary Arab woman.
