WHAT is the difference between a RM15 hijab and a RM11,000 hijab? Not much apparently since a person needs to make a video identifying the price of a “high-end” hijab so that the poor laymen, or laywomen, could better appreciate it.
In a video post on X by @ciraplaici, the hijab of several participants in an event were showcased, sporting astronomical price tags ranging from RM11,000 to the lowest at RM1,200.
According to the video, the highest priced hijab was the Black Label 160, a surprisingly unassuming piece which could have paid off the down payment for a car.

The prices stated in the video have not been authenticated, but it has since gained over 2,500 shares and 167 comments.
Netizens, however, were largely unimpressed by these haute coutures, as can be seen in their sarcastic comments.
“So what do we do after knowing the price of their hijabs?” said @faris_ikhwan98 to which netizen @_TheChieftain_ replied that those who knew about it need to cry and roll on the floor.
Another netizen wondered if such luxurious hijabs are meant to be washed as the stone embedded in the cloth could come loose.
To this, @xemalf said the hijab was not suitable for the washing machine, and was dipped in water and hung to dry.
Prompted by the video, one netizen said the most expensive hijab she bought was RM55.
“But I am lazy. Place them in the sack and put them into the washing machine. I cannot imagine a Bawal hijab at a price of RM2,000 to RM3,000 each,” she added as an afterthought.
The topic took a turn into religion with @sebulatbulan stating that it does not matter how much is the price of the hijab.
“As long as you do not close your chest and shoulder, just burn the hijab,” said @sebulatbulan while @LukeSkypixel added that the meaning of hijab has been lost here.
Perhaps the winning comment goes to @ArynZafy who said, “At least it is alright if these expensive hijabs are hell fire-proof.”
Then there was @SaifulA77188378 who cheekily said that thankfully the seats at the table are not segregated based on the price of the hijab.
“Luckily we guys don’t stare at the sampin of other people,” he added. —Mar 2, 2025
