Rahima Posted July 1, 2013 ^ I've seen the last two on fb-very nice but they need more variety (which i guess will come with time). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johnny B Posted August 24, 2013 Why is Islamic clothing = Women clothing ? Muslim men are left behind Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LayZie G. Posted August 25, 2013 ^^lol Johnny.... You raised a valid question but good luck getting an honest answer from Blessed and the likes. Mida kale, Poster, its against SOL rules to promote other sites, and if you are going to break the site rules, you might as well share a list of online Somali stores that sale clothes. Waayo, this is a Somali forum, and as such, you should be promoting Somali businesses and not some Paki or Arab store, whose attempt at outsourcing saves them few pennies and contract their fabric to Asia, and possibility put few additional dollars in the pockets of a Chinese business man, who will make the material in a factory in China, with Chinese seamtresses, and as a result, sell the products to customers abroad. FYI, change the title of the post to ONLINE SOMALI CLOTHING STORES....(SOMALI BUSINESSES FOR SOMALIS) and including the likes of http://www.kabayarefashion.com/ in your list. This site caters to customers from diverse background. Even Johnny's little girl can buy a beautiful scarf for as low as $10, and match it with a skirt, without invoking Islam. I'm just saying...

Muslimah2014 Posted August 26, 2013 Layzie G you raised a good point. Somali online stores are rare compared to the Asian/ Arab owned stores, Lakin it's picking up and inshallah by next year there will be lots more. Well rest assured that my store anshah boutique is somali owned no dirics available yet specialising in kaftans mainly. Armani's abaya shop is another somali owned store in east London- they sell diric, abaya, kaftans etc and they also do henna which is the amazing. .

Like you care for Muslim men and the supposed lack of Islamic clothing options for them . If you were even the least bit sincere you'd do a simple a google search and get your answer. Lazy G- SOL is a forum for us to share information with others who may have the same interests as we do. Not every thread will appease all. If you are interested in Somali clothing, please feel free to start a thread about that. I initiated this thread because i happen to like those sites and some others may also like them. I initiated it with the intention of coming across similar sites that some other nomads, like Blessed, may know. I don't believe this would constitute as promoting other sites rather information sharing. As for the name change whilst i appreciate your order , i will not be changing the title of this thread, however, like i said feel free to start your own thread titled just that. In saying all that though I'm sure that is not the real intention of your crusade is it? Like JB, please look for a fight somewhere else, no takers here.

Blessed Posted August 26, 2013 ^You're wasting valuable time on the anti-hijab brigade darling Forgot to mention one of my all time favourites; islamicdesignhouse.com Dage Boutique recently opened by a Somali sister in West London. https://www.facebook.com/DageBoutique?fref=ts Welcome to SOL@ Muslimah2014. Aren't you a year early? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LayZie G. Posted August 29, 2013 ^^ no one said anything about Somali clothing. My point was that you were not promoting Somali businesses. In any case, show me a Somali store that does not sell your taste in clothes. *Blessed;975027 wrote: ^You're wasting valuable time on the anti-hijab brigade darling I guess your eyes aren't working too well nowadays. No one said anything about Hijab. (Qalal oo 'Hijab' la dhaho aa kugu dhacay aan umaleynaa.) Go back and read the thread carefully. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
