    What happened to the assuit venders on Ebay?

    I have been eyeballing the assuit on Ebay for a long time now. There were a couple venders out of Egypt selling colored assuit for around $50.

    Now that I finally have a red assuit dress and am looking for a red assuit head scarf these guys are no where to be found!

    Maybe they are closed for Ramadan?
    There is only one vender now - Shimmer shop with a small and more expensive selection.

    Where are you all buying assuit scarves/shawls these days?

    Assuit Dress black assuit shawl from Egypt - they are still selling assuit, about $50. And ShimmerShop is the only shop on ebay I've seen the newer assuit at since July, so I don't think it's just Ramadan. But ShimmerShop - the lady who runs it is really nice and lives local to me.

    No clue.

    I was going to email my contact and figure out what happened to his stuff.

    Nice dress in that link, at a pretty low price. How's their level of quality?

    I read something on tribe early this year that some major producers in Egypt ceased production activity.. and that assuit would get rarer.

    Wow. Serious bummer, guess I better buy a dress before they disappear entirely.

    I see I'm not the only person who searched for assuit on eBay yesterday! I was wondering exactly the same thing.

    I hope it's not the case that assuit is going out of production, but maybe I'd better hasten my plans to buy a dress just in case.

    That article said it would not be out of production, but it s a niche product for sure, and one major producer or distributor missing is feelable!

    Thanks for the link. I need red and should have bought one a while ago, but didn't want to buy until I got the dress.

    I'll have to brave dying a white piece!

    This could work. They have red.

    I am just bummed because the other ebay venders (I totally forgot their names) had little head scarfs that would have been perfect. I can work with a longer piece though, just need to cut it...yikes


    Thank you ladies for your help
