Wed, 2009/01/14 - 06:49Ahiida has a point, burqini is their trade mark. Agreed.
Why can't muslim women try another brands if they are offered with reasonable pricing and same or more than of ahiida quality?
I don't agree with intellectual property rights of a swim wear for muslims. In fact, before ahiida turkish made such thing. Ahiida did well in marketing.
