ABW Fashion Blog | Sponsor Feature: Niswa Fashion

We are honored to have the best sponsors be apart of A Blessed Wardrobe (ABW) productions.

Why did we choose NISWA FASHION to be our sponsor? Here’s what you need to know about niswa fashion:

Q) What does your company do? How has your journey been thus far?

Niswa Fashion is a modest clothing brand for women by women. Our humble beginnings were from the basement of my home and since then we've come a long way! We slowly built our brand from ground up and it expanded in a way we could have never imagined. Niswa has become a global brand alhamdulillah and we hope that we can continue to provide for and inspire women everywhere.

Q) What inspired you? What is your “why”?

Growing up I've always wanted to and aimed to dress modestly because of my faith. Going out to shop in mainstream stores was always such a challenge. I would have to add sleeves, hem skirts, buy lining and it was just so annoying to have to alter clothes so often. I wanted to have options of buying modest clothing without having to change it separate from the standard black abaya and hijab set. 

Q) What differentiates you from your competitors? What are some challenges that your consumers are facing right now and that you can help with?

Niswa's dedication to modesty and customer service really sets us apart. There are other brands out there, but they don't reach the standards that we set for ourselves. Some challenge we face is catering to consumers who can't spend a lot on products. Our production cost is usually at a certain level and we are trying to make it so people of all socioeconomic status can easily afford our products.

Q) How was your experience collaborating with ABW? How else do you practice charity?

Our collaboration with ABW was definitely quite a unique experience. We didn't really know what to expect but were happy to be able to give back to the community. Usually we donate a portion of our sales to charity organizations, so this was a different way to experience charity more actively.

Q) Who is your favorite clothing designer?

I appreciate and have a really nice feel for Kate Spade. The prints and silhouettes of the clothing are really fun and unique and the bags are great for the modern woman.

ABW Fashion Blog | Sponsor Feature: Nominal

We are honored to have the best sponsors be apart of A Blessed Wardrobe (ABW) productions.

Why did we choose Nominal to be our sponsor? Here’s what you need to know about nominal:

Q) What does your company do? How has your journey been thus far?

Nominal is a brand that provides the world with what we like to call “meaningful accessories”. The majority of our pieces are designed and engraved with a powerful word or quote, that is meant to resonate with you and serve as a reminder during your highs and lows.

Q) What inspired you? What is your “why”?

Prior to Nominal, I would type out and save the wise words of my role models as the background of my phone. This constant reminder kept me grounded, whether I was going through a rough time and needed some words of affirmation, or times were great and I needed to be reminded to show gratitude to Allah (SWT). This strategy became very healthy for my mental health. It changed my life, and I felt like the rest of the world can benefit from this strategy as well.

Q) What differentiates you from your competitors? What are some challenges that your consumers are facing right now and that you can help with?

We pride ourselves in our purpose, customer experience, giving back, quality, and attention to detail.

We’re not just a fashion brand. Our pieces don’t just serve as outfit upgrades. Our pieces are here to change lives, whether it be because of a word or quote that inspires you to do more, or a necklace with the shape of your hometown as the pendant, that allows you to be loud and proud of your identity.

Q) How was your experience collaborating with ABW? How else do you practice charity?

Our experience with ABW has been amazing! We are so honored to work with Mariam and her team.

Every single month, we have a “Deed of the Month”. We choose a charity and a few items that we donate 25% of the sales towards. It was once a dream to build a platform that can be used to raise funds and awareness towards important causes. With Nominal, that dream has become a reality. Throughout the last two years, with the help of our Nominal family, we have raised over $30,000 for people all over the world, including building a water well in Mali.

Q) What is your current favorite accessory from your line?

My favorite Nominal accessory is the Core Values Necklace that we launched in November of 2019. This necklace is extra special to me because it holds my four favorite words: Peace, Love, Faith, and Patience. I grab and squeeze the pendant of this necklace every time I feel like I need an extra boost. It puts my mind in a positive place, every time.
