Tehran, Jun. 02 – As Iran steps up its annual pre-summer clampdown on women it considers to be ‘immodestly’ dressed, Iranian state media are promoting a new ‘hi-tech’ Islamic veil into the fashion line.
The new head-to-toe veil, or ‘chador’, comes in black and is complete with 14 state-of-the art features, including the ability for women to access their purse underneath it.
The top of the line veil also allows women to adjust its openings for their face and hands while it is worn.
The Jalabib chador took four years to design and test before being introduced to the market.
The Jahan website, which is close to the country’s intelligence services, published photos of the new chador alongside an article entitled “14 features of a new veil for women”.
