OUR STORY

In university, Ruqayyah and her friends faced a daunting challenge: finding modest, stylish dresses that aligned with Islamic values. The market seemed to lack options that truly understood their needs. Undeterred, Ruqayyah poured her energy into researching, taking business and fashion courses, and refining her vision.

In 2020, driven by a deep passion for modesty, quality, and community, Ruqayyah founded Pearls by Ray. Initially, the brand focused on exclusive occasion wear, empowering Muslim women to attend parties with confidence and faith-integrated style. Our garments were designed to seamlessly transition from social events to prayer, ensuring our customers could fully participate without compromise.

As Pearls by Ray evolved into a leading modest fashion authority in Nigeria, recognized globally for its expertly crafted, elegant, and exclusive designs, our mission expanded. We began inspiring confidence and elegance in Muslim women beyond special occasions, into professional settings.

Throughout our growth, we've faced challenges and navigated uncharted territory in the modest fashion niche. Yet, we've remained steadfast in our values and cultivated a loyal community that shares our vision. Today, Pearls by Ray is more than a fashion brand – it's a beacon of empowerment, self-expression, and faith.

We believe modest fashion is not just about covering up; it's about standing out with confidence, poise, and timeless style. It's about celebrating individuality, cultural heritage, and spiritual identity. Our customers are not just women; they're change-makers, leaders, and pillars of their communities.

At Pearls by Ray, we're dedicated to inspiring a movement of confident, elegant, and faith-driven women who refuse to compromise on their values or style. Join us in redefining modest fashion and empowering a generation of women to shine.
