A custom Emirati thobe is the thobe as men wear it in the Emirates, made to your own choices. The Emirati style is known for its round neck without a standing collar and its easy fit around the chest. In our configurator it is one of the eight models, and it is made for you in the UAE itself. Ordering opens soon, inshaAllah. Until then, you will find our Elite qamis below, which you can order today.
Simple by design
The Emirati model has no collar step and no chest pocket step. So the choices that shape your thobe are the fabric, the closure, the sleeve and the colour of the buttons.
Fabric first
Know our Elite qamis? our Imperial Elite is an Emirati model, and Imperial in the configurator comes in 16 colours. You can also choose Cashmere, Katoen (cotton), Linnen (linen), Satijn (satin) or the white, water-repellent Waterafstotend.

Closure and sleeve
- Sluiting: the closure options include press studs and buttons, inside or outside, zips and fabric buttons. The configurator shows which ones the Emirati model offers.
- Mouw: Klassiek, a stiffened cuff (Verstevigde manchet) with a press stud or a button, or Korte mouw for warm weather.
- Knopen: matched to the fabric is our advice; you can also pick a colour such as mother of pearl, gold or silver.
Made where the style comes from
Your thobe is made in the United Arab Emirates and shipped to you; we deliver in the Netherlands and Belgium. Express delivery in 7 to 12 days will be possible, inshaAllah. The Emirati model starts at €79.95.
Fit and length
Choose a width size from XS to 3XL and a length size from 50 to 62, or give your own measurements. Let the hem end just above the ankle. Since it is made for you alone, there is no 14-day right of withdrawal, so measure carefully.

Vragen en antwoorden
Is an Emirati thobe the same as a kandura?
Yes. Kandura is the name used in the Emirates for this style of thobe. Some people also say Dubai thobe, because Dubai is in the United Arab Emirates. All these names point to the same long garment with a round neck.
Can I add my initials to an Emirati thobe?
The Borduursel step lets you add up to three letters. On the Classic and Saudi models they can go on the chest pocket. On the Emirati model there is no chest pocket step, so check in the configurator where your initials can go.
Does an Emirati thobe suit a wedding?
Yes, especially in white or cream with neat shoes. The round neck and calm front give a clean, festive look. If you want more decoration for the day, look at the models with decorative stitching, such as Royal, Prince or Omani.
Which colour of Emirati thobe is common for Eid?
White and cream are the classic choices for Eid, and you see them often on the day itself. Navy, grey and black are calm colours for other days. If you have small children around you on Eid, a slightly darker shade is easier to keep clean.
Can I order an Emirati thobe for my father?
Yes. Take his measurements from a thobe that fits him well, or measure him with a soft tape. Older men often like a looser fit and an easy closure, such as press studs. You fill in the configurator for him, just as you would for yourself.
