Spring Collection 2015 : Live in Colors & Choices with Nashata

To give you more confidence working out longer and further, our new collection is about vibrancy &  improvements. Both Riada and Ultra range get an uplift of more choices, more colors. With #exerciseinmodesty and #modish as the theme, lets go through what we have in the store for you!

1. Jazri Riada

Previous Riada collection was to cater for pear, spoon and diamond body shapes. At that point, we put a lot of attention to cover areas below waist level. The new Jazri Riada in the Spring collection is for apple, inverted triangle, hourglass, rectangle and straight body shapes. So if you don’t like it loose below waist area, and wider on the top, Jazri would be the choice for you.

There are 3 colors in Jazri Riada; turquoise, dark purple and red.

Jazri is a round-neck sports top, with a simple design. There are cuffs on Jazri sleeves and a few cut-and-sew design on the back, making it look simple, yet exclusive. Made of 4-way highly stretchable fabric, Jazri is very comfortable and lightweight.

The Amin hijab gets a facelift. Now, improved with better fitting and suitable for performance, Amin hijab is a must-get for those who are looking for sports hijab!  Light weight, small and fast-drying, with Amin Hijab, you can perform your long-hour sporting activities comfortably.

You can get 5 new color combinations; fushia, red, blue, turquoise and purple. They go well with Jazri Riada, Tron Ultra and Black Ultra Top. So hurry, pick your color or get all 5 to go with your favorite sports top!

 3. Magenta & Purple Tron Ultra

We add more colors into the Tron series;  Magenta and Purple, to celebrate Women’s International Day in March. #paintitpurple
We believe women can push their working out regime further and longer & we would like to empower them with the right attire. Both Tron purple and magenta are the perfect choice for it. They are made of high quality breathable and moisture-wicking fabric.

Tron top complements well with either Amin or Iman sports hijab. Just choose the one fits your activity.

 4. Ruby Nahl Riada

Nahl was well received in its first debut last November. The bumble bee and green Nahl were the initial colors. Now, we have Ruby and coming soon blue to complete the 4 main colors of sporting teams. However, for the latter, we offer our customers inverted colors with darker / black color inside. This gives more sporty look and improved slimming effect for plus sizes.

5. Lavender Riada Peplum

Lastly, the all time favourite Riada Peplum gets a new color ! Lavender is a softer shade for our sisters who want to bring out the feminine in them.

Choose the correct sports attire for your sporting activities. If you are going for performance, get the ultra range for better experience. Otherwise, the Riada range would give you ultimate modesty while working out!

Make your life ACTIVE, VIBRANT and COLORFUL with Nashata!

NASHATA Be Active Stay Healthy #BASH2015

This post is long due, but better late than never. We organised #BASH2015 specially for our customers and partners who have been supporting us the past year. As much as we are online based, we love meeting our customers face to face & working out together too!

The small-do was held on the 24th January 2015, at the Putrajaya Lakeclub, Presint 8. Those who came get a door gift of compression arm sleeves. At 8 am, our trainers from MARS Insanity Fitness, led by Rasid Shariff, started the morning work out with 15 minutes yoga. Why did we choose Insanity Fitness? Our partners and resellers voted for it, leaving zumba and aerobics at the bottom of the list.

After yoga, over 30 sisters from different ages and fitness level started the insanity work out intensely for 40 minutes. Insanity work out is known for its intensity and high-calorie burn-rate. Those who are used to running or zumba may not necessary be able to cope with the level of endurance required. I am sure many could testify to it, post work-out!

Some stopped in between but all completed strong that morning, The training helped to build endurance as claimed by a few sisters who were preparing for their full marathon. After the workout, we all had breakfast together with a bit of chit chat among each other.

Fashion Tips by Ida Bakar, Lead Designer

We received many invaluable feedback from those who came. We are excited with the list of WANTS; somewhat overwhelming I must say, but we will try. InsyaAllah, we will put them into the store soon. As for swimwear we have to put it on hold for the time being, although we already have a design that makes our sisters look radiant and fabulous. There are many providers in the market and we are not able to compete with them price-wise. Our products use high quality fabric and the design requires delicate workmanship. Therefore, we can only produce swimwear that is for premium market. Our focus now is to make Nashata affordable for all walks of life, without compromising quality.

We hear a few positive buzz-lines about Nashata from those who came; “Exclusive”, “Fashionable” and “Comfortable”. We are happy to hear our effort to use high quality fabric that is light-weight and moisture-wicking, and our designs that make our sisters look good, and be confident with their bodies are showing positive outcomes. Our sisters are more comfortable and more attuned to working out with Nashata.

Lastly, we had lucky draws for the lucky ones; RM100, RM150, RM200 and RM250 vouchers, redeemable online. Here are the happy faces of the winners, which include a 10 year old Nashata fan!

Never Give Up Running : Dr. Rosmurni Ismail shares her Story

We are grateful to have wonderful customers and because of the support from our sisters and customers, we thrive to do better. We receive many feedback from our customers, and we truly appreciate them.

We are also touched and happy that some of you take the trouble to send us pictures, write to us and share your stories; to inspire other sisters to be active in sports and take better care of beautiful vessels Allah give us. 

Here’s a story sent by Dr. Rosmurni who was the FIRST to finish 7 km fun at 38.4mins at the LOVE Subang Run 2014 on 9 November 2014.
To those who have challenges to find time to keep fit; You are not alone and you should not feel despair. Here’s her story, for the ummah.

Dr. Rosmurni @ Subang Jaya 7km fun run

Assalamualaikum,


I would like to share my experience with Nashata. I have been using the Nashata products for a few months back, can’t remember exactly. Oh yes! I purchased for the first time using Nashata coupon when I entered Malaysian Women’s Marathon (MWM) in March 2014. I saw the products displayed at the Dataran Merdeka Shah Alam and felt interested to try it out because of the modest muslimah design and suitable for outdoor activities(which I found rare to find).

 

So,I bought Amin Hijab and Riada Peplum Lite for my first purchase. Later on I repeated my order and bought  Heather Ultra top for more performance & Iman Hijab. I have been wearing them since because they are so light and comfy, and most importantly they cover right. I plan to buy more and I would like to congratulate Nashata for producing quality and innovative products. I hope there will be more interesting products coming soon.


I was a runner in my schooldays and till today, I love running. When I entered University, I just ran for fun and couldn’t do much running due to time constraint. I started having a family upon graduation and work commitment piled up. That was when I stopped running. But after giving birth to my 3rd child  in 2007 (my youngest child was 6 years old then), I saw an advertisement in the paper that there would be a Subang Jaya Run. I took my first attempt and I could run again after stopping for many years. I was very happy. It was a 7 km run and completed with a time of 47 mins. It was an awesome feeling and I started running constantly again and never look back.

 

However, Allah gave me a test, I had a miscarriage in 2008 and after a few months Allah gave me his blessings. I got pregnant with my 4th child and Alhamdulillah, I delivered my 4th child in 2009. Right after my postpartum period I started to be active again. Now, I am a constant runner despite being busy as a career woman, a wife to an excellent husband, a mother of four great children and lastly but not least as a daughter of an amazing mother.

 

So they say, Fit Parents Raise Fit kids. Congratulations to Dr. Rosmurni Ismail & family. 🙂 Here are her medals she collected since 2010. Keep going Dr. Rosmurni .

Amin Hijab fits like a glove, light as a feather

Amin Hijab is so light that you don’t feel like having a hijab on. Yes, that is how light the sports hijab is. It fits like a glove and is specially designed to give you comfort while performing outdoor and indoor activities. Made of completely breathable fabric, it is good for running, trailing, cycling and any outdoor and indoor activities. Amin hijab can take the heat and would keep you miles ahead!

What are the key features of the product?

Design Philosophy

Modest yet Sporty is the look you are going to get from Amin Hijab! The stripe along the face is to enhance unique features of Asian women.  The stripe meets at chest to give slimming effect on your body. The hijab gives good chest covering as the front length is 41 cm long and 28 cm wide. The design falls nicely on your shoulder, giving free movement for arms and hands without compromising modestly.

Color Choice

We offer a choice of black base with a dark grey stripe and dark grey with a black stripe. We recommended the lighter color for outdoor use like marathon, running, cycling and trailing and black for indoor activities like aerobics and zumba.

Although the material dries fast, sweat marks on the grey base hijab can be evident.

The reflective logo is on the back of the hijab. It is small but ample to give you safety feature when you run at night. If you wear Nashata’s skirts pants and ultra top, you will get better safety feature of a night run; two reflectors in front and two at the back

So what were to THUMBS up about trailing in  Nashata Outfit?

  • You don’t get bugs bite! The good thing about trailing in long sleeves, long pants and a sports hijab on is that you need not use insect repellent. Your body is protected.
  • All the items, including the sports bra are made of light weight and anti-bacterial fabric, hence no odor and fast to dry  throughout and after your activities.
  • The extended sleeves, covering half of you palm protect your palm when you need to do rope work or when you hold on to branches along the way. There are ropes at both trails.
    Not only that, I use palm to wipe your nose and sweat along the way.
  • Phone and important small items are safely secured on the back of Skirt Compression Pants and the compression pants keep you knees and thighs firm. I can’t feel carrying a phone at your back.
  •  The Amin Hijab, to be released end of this month was put to another TEST. The combination of breathable fabric and fitted design gives complete comfort! It was dry throughout !
  • The light weight sports bag was idea for 6 km trail. With phone and important item in the pockets, a small towel, a water bottle, a shirt and a raincoat fit nicely in the bag. The total weight is just like an empty bag-pack! But running with the bag on is not advisable.
