About Us We think of ourselves as a small batch business, starting in January 2019; the company is our little baby. We are selling great quality products to our customers without having the high end price attached to them. We all have our individual jobs ranging from software consultant to law graduates and what nots! but we noticed that getting Hijabs was a problem beyond belief. Just trying to hit the shops we would be quoted with ridiculous prices, and for something that we wanted to wear everyday it seemed unfair that we should be paying that price. In 2014, we went to a shop in London and asked them to show some Hijabs. We were appalled to see that not only were the Hijabs really cheap quality but very over-priced. What was worse is that the fabric was not up to scratch and the colours pretty tacky, and the variety available to a trendy Muslim lady who wants to follow her deen but at the same time be elegant and stylish were very limited. Online Hijab experience Disappointed by these retail clothing shops, we decided to buy Hijabs online. However this was also a letdown. Although to be fair, the variety of colours and fabric available in most hijab shops online was much better than high street hijab stores, however they were extremely over-priced. Yes, some of them had cheap hijabs for ‘sale’, but then their quality reflected the price. On top of this, almost all of the Hijab Stores in the online World had another massive problem: ridiculous shipping costs! We are not talking of a quid or two here as is the case with most Amazon & EBay sellers but for some strange reason, most of these hijab shops had shipping costs of £4 and some even as high as £6! We really couldn’t understand the motives behind keeping postage costs so high other than to make profits on shipping as well. Birth of Hidden Pearls Out of these personal frustrations, the idea of Hidden Pearls was born. After discussing these problems and liaising with a friend who worked in the clothing industry, we were alhamdulillah able to launch Hidden Pearls back in January of 2015. Alhamdulillah it has been an amazing journey since then. It has not been easy by any means. It’s been a lot of hard work, we:
- Keep the website running
- Make sure we have the stylish and most trendy hijabs for you
- Uploading hundreds of pictures & descriptions weekly for our customers to get that feel of holding the hijab by just looking at it
- Packaging & posting the orders
- Striving to get relevant information and articles across to you
