Good service

The abaya arrived within 2 days. It was elegant but unfortunately the size was not fit. I returned it back in its original box and I have received full refund.

EXTREMELY BAD UNETHICAL/UNFAIR CUSTOMER SERVICE! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

I ordered a khimar and abaya set which looked nice, when I received it it was too short and not loose at all and had crease lines all over it, bad quality product, I wanted to return it for a refund which should be completely straight forward and fuss free HOWEVER this WAS NOT THE CASE. First you have to contact them to ask if you can return a product like a little child! What is this nonsense! Then you have to wait for a reply to say that YOU CANNOT RETURN any item like this which is absolutely ridiculous, it was a standard abaya khimar set, why not! They have refused to give me a refund or allow me to return it! I buy clothes abayas that are crinkle material which i like but this one WAS CREASED ALL OVER WITH DEEP LINES! They tried saying that this is the material it comes like this, that's wrong!
Furthermore I have multiple sclerosis and physically unable to iron and I have explained that to them and they didn't care at all, nothing! EXTREMELY BAD UNETHICAL CUSTOMER SERVICE! DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!

We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your purchase.

The Khimar Abaya Set is made from a soft crushed fabric, and the textured finish is part of the intended design, as clearly shown in the product images and description. Minor fold lines can naturally occur during packaging and transit.

To clarify our returns policy:

We fully accept returns on standalone abayas. In some cases, an abaya may include a complimentary hijab — this is not considered part of the core product and the abaya can therefore be returned in line with our policy.

The Khimar Abaya Set, however, is sold as a single complete garment where the khimar forms an integral part of the design. As it includes a hygiene sensitive head covering and cannot be separated, it falls under our non returnable category. This is clearly stated on the product page and within our Refund & Returns Policy prior to purchase. We apply this policy consistently to all customers to ensure fairness.

Regarding contacting us before returning an item — this is a standard process for many online retailers. It allows us to review the order, confirm eligibility under policy, and provide the correct return instructions where applicable.

We always aim to operate transparently and fairly, and we regret that in this instance we were unable to meet your expectations.

Gorgeous Abaya

Absolutely loved the oatmeal abaya from Anaqa Inspired.I wore it on my trip to Doha and it was perfect. The cut is elegant and flattering, the material feels premium and comfortable and the color is gorgeous in person. I also love sleeve detailing. Highly recommend.

Wrong sizes

Wrong sizes, poor responsibility

I ordered dresses for myself and my daughter, and both arrived in the wrong sizes. I sent clear photos with a measurement tape and fully cooperated to prove the issue, but instead of fixing it, the seller acted irresponsibly.

I was forced to pay £60 to correct their mistake.
I am leaving this honest review to inform the community and will only remove it if there is a fair and positive resolution.

Reply from Anaqa Inspired

This review is misleading and omits critical facts. The customer claims we acted irresponsibly; however, they did not allow us any opportunity to respond or resolve the matter.

Measurements were provided to us on Friday 12 December 2025 after we requested them in order to investigate and offer a resolution. The customer then emailed again on Saturday 13 December 2025, first chasing a response and then confirming they had already proceeded with alterations without our permission. Not even one business day had passed for us to respond and offer an exchange or refund which we fully intended on doing.

The customer states they were “forced” to pay £60, which is not accurate. This decision was made independently, without waiting for a response and without any authorisation from us. Once a product has been altered by a third party, no retailer would accept a return, refund, or exchange.

Despite this, the review suggests we refused to help. This omits the true timeline and the customer’s actions. We act with honesty and integrity and follow standard retail practice. We will not accept demands or threats directed at us as a small business when no reasonable opportunity was given for a resolution. Our position is clear and will not be changed.

I’m extremely impressed with the speed and efficiency of the delivery! My order arrived much earlier than expected and was packaged with care. Everything was in perfect condition, exactly as described. It’s rare to find such reliable and prompt service these days, and I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend to anyone looking for fast and hassle-free delivery. Will definitely be ordering again!

Bad service and illogical justifications to misleading ad

I ordered the Oatmeal Linen Blend Frayed Sleeve Open Abaya from Anaqa Inspired, and although the product itself looks nice, my overall experience was deeply disappointing due to the misleading product listing and the appalling customer service I received.

On the product page, the abaya is shown clearly in all images with a belt, styled as part of the outfit. In addition, the page includes the following disclaimer:

> “The belt you receive may differ in colour or material depending on material availability at the time of order.”

This wording clearly implies that a belt will be included with the abaya, with only the colour or material potentially varying. However, when my order arrived, there was no belt at all.

I contacted Anaqa Inspired to explain this, expecting a simple acknowledgement and a resolution — but instead, I was met with a dismissive and condescending explanation that made the situation even worse. The representative told me the belt disclaimer is a "general statement applied to all products", including perfumes — and then actually said:

> “If you go on a perfume product on our website, you’ll see the same disclaimer. It’s not as if we will provide a belt with a perfume purchase.”

This made absolutely no sense and felt like they were mocking me. It’s absurd to suggest that a disclaimer referring to a belt would ever apply to perfume, and using this to justify not including a belt with an abaya that is advertised with one is, frankly, illogical.

When I pointed this out, their tone became even more defensive. At one point, they said:

> “If a product does not include a belt, then obviously the disclaimer does not apply.”

This statement is not only contradictory, it’s also incredibly unprofessional and childish. The belt was very clearly featured in the images and referenced in the disclaimer — so the idea that the disclaimer "doesn’t apply" to this product is absurd.

At no point during the conversation did I receive an apology for the confusion or for the misleading nature of the listing. The representative never once acknowledged how this might appear from a customer’s perspective. Only after over 20 minutes of back-and-forth, during which they continued defending their position, did they finally offer a refund — without any sincerity or real attempt to resolve things respectfully.

To be clear: I think the abaya itself is nice — but Anaqa Inspired's customer service was rude, unhelpful, and disrespectful. Rather than listening or acknowledging the concern, they tried to twist the situation with poor excuses and irrelevant logic. As a customer, I felt talked down to and dismissed.

If you’re considering ordering from this company, be warned: what you see in the photos may not be what you receive, and if you raise concerns, don’t expect empathy or accountability. Just excuses.
*UPDATE TO THEIR RESPONSE*
Anaqa tried to flag the review to remove it but trust pilot has deemed the review to be fair.
Their response to my review is misleading, defensive, and filled with contradictions. The abaya I purchased was clearly shown in images with a belt, and the product page included disclaimer "The belt you receive may differ in colour or material availability at the time of order." This directly implies a belt is included, just with possible variation. To now claim "nowhere does it state a belt is included" contradicts their own wording, which I have screenshots of. If it was simply a misunderstanding, why did they edit the product page and remove the belt reference after my complaint? That change speaks for itself. Their attempt to justify this by saying the disclaimer is generic and even applies to perfumes is illogical and unprofessional. To bring up an example of a disclaimer about belts on a perfume listing proves poor website management at best, and deliberate misdirection at worst. Saying " if a product does not include a belt, then obviously the disclaimer doesn't apply" only adds to the confusion - disclaimers cannot be applied and ignored selectively. They also falsely claim a refund was offered at the beginning; in fact, the refund came only after 20 minutes of defensiveness and repeated challenges from me, and without any apology or acknowledgement of their mistake. I admit I became frustrated and used inappropriate language, which I don't excuse, but their attempt to shift the focus to that - while ignoring the root cause is a tactic to deflect from their own conduct. The most inappropriate part of their reply is invoking their identity as a "Muslim owned business" and implying that I, bring from the same community, should not criticise them. A customers background is irrelevant when a business misleads its customers and refuses accountability. I also have screenshots of everything
. So don't lie.

We take pride in our products and customer service, which is why it's important to address the misleading and one-sided nature of this review, especially when key facts have been left out.

Let’s set the record straight:

The product description clearly states what is included: a complimentary hijab. Nowhere does it mention that a belt is included with this abaya.

The belt disclaimer is a general note applied across the store for products that do include a belt (as clearly stated on their pages). This customer misinterpreted that disclaimer, and despite our explanation, continued to argue.

Before the customer made any threats about reporting us to the ASA, we had already offered a full refund. We acted professionally, respectfully, and with integrity throughout.

What the customer fails to mention is their own conduct. They became abusive during the conversation including calling our staff "shithead" which is completely unacceptable. Ironically, they accused us of being “childish,” while using offensive language over a £45 abaya and ignoring the refund offered from the beginning.

We are a Muslim owned business, and it’s disappointing to see this level of entitlement, aggression, and disrespect, especially from someone within the same community. Disagreeing is one thing; resorting to abuse, threats, and public misrepresentation is another.

We have since updated our disclaimers to make things even clearer, not because we were at fault, but because we don’t want other customers to misunderstand.

To our genuine customers: we’re here to help, and we will always resolve any concerns professionally and fairly. But we will also protect our team from abuse and stand by the truth.

UPDATE:

We’ve seen your updated review and will respond once more to correct the ongoing misinformation.

1. You claimed it took us 20 minutes to offer a refund, this is false. It took 12 minutes since our first response, during which we were answering your original query about the belt. Once it became clear you were unhappy with our explanation, we offered a refund immediately and without hesitation.
2. You continue to leave out the fact that we have full chat records showing your abusive behaviour, including calling our staff a “shithead.” This is completely unacceptable in any setting, especially over a £45 item that we offered to refund without issue.
3. You say we are being “childish” while making threats, refusing a refund, and publicly misrepresenting the situation. A person who doesn’t understand basic respect and decency cannot be expected to understand basic business principles like reading a product description properly or communicating without aggression.
4. You’ve criticised us for mentioning Islam. That wasn’t deflection, it’s a simple fact. When a Muslim mocks, insults, and abuses another Muslim, over something as trivial as a refund that is something to be disappointed by. That’s beyond customer service, it’s about character.

This is our final clarification. We’ve done our part professionally and respectfully. We have full records of this interaction, including abusive messages. If false public claims continue to harm our business, we will take appropriate steps to protect our reputation and team.
