Cotton & Woven Hijabs

Our cotton and woven hijabs bring natural texture and an easy, breathable feel to everyday wear. Choose a soft cotton jersey, a crinkle cotton with a light, lived-in grip, or an ombre cotton linen style that shifts gently between two tones. The palette stays grounded: camel, mocha, chocolate, olive, denim and dove grey, plus black for every day.

Cotton hijabs: natural texture for every day

A cotton hijab is matte and breathable, with a natural texture that gives a little grip. It's the classic choice for warm days and for anyone who prefers natural-feel fabrics against the skin.

Our cotton hijabs

The cotton jersey hijab is premium stretch cotton jersey, smooth, matte and opaque, about 180 x 70 cm. The ombre cotton-linen hijab is light, airy crinkled cotton-linen in a generous 180 x 90 cm, with darker edges fading to a lighter centre. The crinkle cotton hijab is a light cotton-viscose blend with a soft crinkle and a fine fringe; it is semi-sheer, so wear it over an undercap.

Compare and care

For a silkier drape see modal hijabs; for more stretch, jersey hijabs; for the same texture in other fabrics, crinkle hijabs. Wash cool at 30°C in a mesh bag and hang to dry; crinkle styles need no ironing. Read next: the best hijab for summer.
