Bombay Textile · WTC Souq, Abu Dhabi
A curated world of silks, satins, crepes, jacquards and expressive prints for women who design, sew and dream. Chosen by eye and by hand, in the heart of Abu Dhabi.
The Bombay Textile eye
Every length in our collection is selected in person. We look for colour that stays true in daylight and lamplight, for a hand that feels as good as it looks, and for prints with real character, from quiet botanicals to bold geometrics.
Then we ask the only question that matters: what could this become? A kandora for Eid, a jalabiya for a family gathering, a kaftan for the beach house, a dress for an evening out. Discovery is the pleasure. We simply lay the table.
A journey through materials
Scroll through the collection the way you would walk through the store: satin, crepe, jacquard, chiffon, each with a character of its own.
01 · Satin & silk
Smooth, cool and luminous, satin takes light and gives it back softly. Florals and paisleys printed on a satin ground look painted on water. For jalabiyas, evening dresses and anything that should shimmer when you turn.

02 · Crepe
Crepe has a gentle texture and a quiet surface that lets the print do the talking. It falls beautifully and wears easily, which makes it a favourite for everyday kandoras and kaftans that still feel special.

03 · Metallic jacquard
Pattern woven into the cloth itself, with metallic yarn that catches the light only as you move. Jewel colours, tone-on-tone motifs and a crisp hand for occasionwear that wants presence.

04 · Chiffon & georgette
Sheer, weightless layers that float over a kandora or soften a dress. Some carry a zari lattice and fine metallic detail; others stay whisper-plain so the layer beneath can glow.

A statement about prints
Florals that bloom across a whole width. Paisleys drawn like jewellery. Geometrics with rhythm, abstracts with nerve, botanicals so fine they look pressed. Many of our prints carry a conversation between international design and Indian artistry, and every one is chosen because it has something to say.
From fabric to possibility
We sell the fabric; your tailor brings the design to life. Here is where our collection tends to go.
Soft crepes and satins with prints that stay elegant from morning to majlis.
Satin paisleys and jacquards for gatherings, in colours that glow under evening light.
Flowing crepe and georgette florals for home, holiday and hosting.
Bold florals and botanicals for a silhouette with movement.
Metallic jacquard and zari chiffon for the nights that matter.

Our story
Bombay Textile grew out of Hind Fabrics, our sister house a few doors away in the same souq. Hind Fabrics is known for zari weaves and occasion textiles; Bombay Textile was created to carry that same eye into a more fashionable, expressive collection of silks, satins, crepes, jacquards and prints for everyday elegance.
We are a small team who handle every piece ourselves. We would rather hold a fabric up to the light than read about it, and we buy only what we would be proud to see made up and worn.

The whole collection is in store
Photographs can only do so much. The colour, the hand and the fall of a fabric are best discovered in person, with a cup of tea and no hurry at all.
