“Love it”

Muhammad Adeel A.
5/2/21

I am not sure why people have done bad reviews for this. I had a great experience. Yes there were some minor issues with the clothing but I communicated my concerns and they replied. You can always contact them with your concerns if you have any so that they improve. We should realize that they are doing a great job for the Muslim community by promoting modesty and be less critical.

“Cheap fabric”

I was so disappointed in the dresses I bought from them, the fabrics are so flimsy and cheap, one of them tore the second time I wore it. Their sales are so fake because the clothes are not even worth the sales price.

As a young woman who values modesty, finding fashionable clothing can be challenging. Thanks to EastEssence, that is no longer the case. Their collection caters to all ages, offering trendy yet modest options for everyone. EastEssence has become my fashion haven, and I can't wait to explore more of their incredible designs!

Did you think that East Essence offers just Islamic traditional outfits? Then think again. I shopped for a couple of amazing pants from them, and they were brilliant, given the kind of pricing they come at. Clearly, these clothes are absolutely wonderful..

Really cheap stuff and nothing looks like as advertised. Ordered medium size but can easily fit a large size person.
Shipping are also delayed and haven't got any response from customer care on inquiring.

I had a super great shopping experience with Eastessence last month. It was my first purchase from them and the clothes came in perfect size, fabric, the quality was amazing. I'm again planning to order something during Ramadan.

I ordered over 12 days sgo they said shipping is 7-10 days. I've tried calling no one answers the phone and there is no tracking on my package. I am very unhappy at this point. You're supposed to ship from the US what's taking so long.

Tip for consumers:
They are slow to ship.

I've ordered for about 5-6 times from Eastessence. I'm so pleased with the quality and customer services. Never had such a smooth shopping experience from any other online shopping portal. Getting such fine modest clothing used to be so hard in USA, but now it's perfect.

They are liars. Quality is worst. They ship order from India. We also received custom duty invoice after one month of delivery. I called them and some Indian girl sent me email that they do not pay custom duty.

This eCommerce website has all the makings of a business that plays it as per the needs of its customer wants. They've got a thoughtfully curated list of items that suit our requirements to perfection, and you can't NOT get something for yourself.

I'm travelling soon so I decided to look for some comfortable modest clothing to wear on the plane. I bought multiple tracksuits, all of which were great quality and very comfortable. I live in Australia so it took around 3 weeks to arrive, however it's worth the wait. Will shop again!

I used to visit dozens of shops looking for stylish Islamic garments only to come home empty-handed. East Essence made my shopping experience a lot easier. I found some of the best garments here. Besides, the payment and delivery process is also highly impressive. I love them.

An extremely well-made website offering great apparel for welcome additions to our wardrobe. Dresses are affordable, and boast of a great stitch quality and finish, bringing you a lot of reassurance on what you buy. East Essence has my faith in that.

Ordered two jackets from their recent collection. The jackets are so cool, the stuff and the color is perfect, I so loved it. I wore one of them in a party and almost all of my friends asked about it. Great job eastessence. Keep rocking. DEFINITELY going to order again.

East Essence has become the go-to shopping destination for me because I usually shop a lot and try around on a lot of websites. Trust me when I say this, they've got a range of excellent designs that you can't ignore at all. Try EE out!

I'm so surprised at the negative reviews. Their Customer support staff is probably the most polite staff I've ever come across. Their collection are so well prized and the designs are really great. The best thing is you don't need to go anywhere else for male wear and kids wear. A one stop shopping destination is Eastessence.

For us, Eid is all about community, and East Essence has over the years been among by absolute favourites without any doubt. The quality of men's products here, coupled with their designs has left me spellbound, and it's just absolutely magical!

Gone are the days when modest fashion meant compromising on style. EastEssence has redefined modesty with their chic and fashionable collection. I recently purchased a printed abaya that perfectly embodies my personality. The fabric is comfortable, and the garment's design is simply stunning.

EastEssence is an absolute haven for women seeking modest Islamic clothing. From classic abayas to contemporary tunics, they cater to every style preference. The vast selection ensures that every woman can find something that resonates with her. EastEssence's commitment to delivering comfort and fashion together is truly commendable.

East Essence dresses are a testimony and a pure benchmark to how stitching and dressing for the men of Islam should be. Order something from them, and believe what I say. Disappointment won't be an option for you, that's for sure.

I've ordered quite a few times from EE, and each time has been interesting. I've received gorgeous and lovely abayat, ones that I've had for years now and still wear on a day to day basis (the quality is astounding for a few of them). I love their abayat. Now, one thing to be careful of is the fabric, make sure you know exactly what fabric you are buying, and how it looks in real life, because pictures can be deceiving. But this is also true for any online shopping, just be careful. The kashibo is a strange fabric, not one I think looks particularly nice, but it does keep you cool, which is a plus. The only bad experience I've had with them was through the 'marketplace' section. I bought a dress that I'd hoped to wear for my Nikkah, and paid quite a bit for it, but what came in the mail was something that vaguely resembled a grocery bag and looked nothing like the photos. The sleeves only came to my elbows and were sheer, even though I paid for lining on the inside. There were no refunds given, but that was my own fault, I knew the items were final sale but took the chance anyways, so always make sure to purchase something that you would have the ability to refund if you were dissatisfied, otherwise its your own fault.

So, to sum it up, stay away from the market place! Anything else that is produced outside of that area I have had good luck with and enjoyed my purchase. Many of their products I have had and worn for years, great quality, even the cheaper abayat and jilbab. The only reason for three stars is because of the horrendous customer service when I reached out, I actually ended up crying afterwards. I was very disappointed with the unprofessional attitudes of the staff I spoke with and being talked down to. It was a disheartening experience.

I ended up getting a refund in the end, not from EE, but from American Express. I emailed the picture of the dress from the website, and then the picture of what I received. The customer service rep I was talking with from Amex laughed for about five minutes straight at the difference, told me I had definitely been scammed and refunded me every penny since I was a bride-to-be.
