Black and gold Saudi bisht

The black Saudi bisht is the traditional garment par excellence in Saudi Arabia. Made from a precious fabric, it is distinguished by its dark color and sober elegance. Influential people wear this long cloak over their qamis for festivals and important events. My Qamis had to make this garment accessible to all Muslim men.

Black Saudi bisht: a symbol of authority and prestige

Men living on the Arabian Peninsula reserve this long cape for official occasions and ceremonial occasions. Black represents a noble and prestigious color. It also symbolizes authority and power. This is why many members of the Saudi royal family wear the black Saudi bisht on a daily basis.

Despite its name, this traditional garment is not confined to the Saudi kingdom. Indeed, it can also be found in the dressing rooms of men living in other Gulf countries. Maghreb countries, on the other hand, have their own variations. At My Qamis, you can also buy a men's burnous. Whichever version you choose, each of these pieces symbolizes prestige and allows you to exude an aura.

Its ample cut and ankle-length make for a majestic, refined look. The officer's collar and wide sleeves add a solemn touch. Often embellished with discreet geometric motifs, the black Saudi bisht is elegant but stripped of all artifice.

To sublimate this garment, craftsmen use ancestral sewing and embroidery techniques. This know-how represents a cultural heritage handed down from father to son. By donning this cape, Saudis express their attachment to Arab traditions.

When wearing the black Saudi bisht with pride, Saudis take full measure of their national identity. This garment of power and prestige demonstrates that modernity and tradition can coexist.
