World famous British couture designer Bruce Oldfield has in collaboration with Crosley Diamonds of London created the world’s most expensive abaya , a traditional form of Islamic dress (it is actually the simplest form of dressing accepted by Islamic religion).

The abaya that Bruce has created is covered in 4,668 individual diamonds (85.13 carats ) with a gold weight of 359.7 grams of white gold.
The abaya is expected to be sold off in August at a major British luxury brands trade fair, titled “The Saudi Gulf Luxury Trade Fair” for £175,000 ($350,000), taking place at InterContinental London Park . The sales generated would be donated towards the relief charity “Islamic Relief.

The trade fair is in conjunction with the Arab British Chamber of Commerce, and has been created to boost and create new business opportunities for British and Britain based companies, in the luxury brands sector, who are aiming to develop or further develop business with the affluent Gulf consumers during this difficult economic climate.
