Farwas are believed to have originated from Syria and Levant where Bedouins would wear them during the cold winter months.
The long, sweeping, fur-lined overcoat has now established a firm foothold in countries all over the Gulf.
It is a staple in many Saudi households, particularly in the northern and central regions where the biting desert cold can reach surprisingly low temperatures.

All of our farwas coats are cut on the traditional square or box model as is most bedouin clothing. It is a square of cloth with added rectangular sleeves and gussets. Special attention is given to the cut and fold of the cloth as well as to adding the trim in the correct geometrical design. The original version worn by men & women, is a cotton shell covered with a contrasting trim in a geometrical design and lined with sheep fur, sometimes rabbit. This later gave way to the most popular and heaviest version of the coat with a wool exterior, embroidered trim on the neckline, often with small tassels and a plush synthetic lining. Our practical variation has a faux suede exterior with trim with a synthetic fur lining. Our products are made in Syria and sourced in Qatar.
