We never seem to see people complaining about what nuns wear, which I find to be a double standard.
Different context. Nuns wear their costume when they are serving. That’s why you don’t see nuns in full dress at Walmart.
But I see women in full burkas (always with their husband, of course) struggling in everyday situations.
If the religion requires it, it’s a terribly oppressive one. These women “chose” not to face consequences, so they wear it. That’s why there are international protests by women who call to reject these fabric cages.
No.
Majority of women wear it because of sexist opression. They don’t have the real choice of not wearing it even if they believe they wear it “because I want to”.
Also, using nuns is not a valid argument, because
it’s a uniform
and
nuns are nuns because they devote their lives, amongst other things, to not have children. Do those women depicted swore chastity and celibacy?
This is not true of every part of islamic culture, but there’s an anti-western focus that is a part of a lot of cultural traditions. The idea for a lot is that if a Kafar (effectively, a sinner/etc) is involved, you shouldn’t be, so that rules out most top tier brands. I’m way out of date because I’m not close to that world anymore, but every once in awhile, you’d see a major player throw something out… Like adidas had a line for a minute that they tried to make a big deal, but I never saw any big brands that you’d recognize in any Islamic shops and I never knew anyone who had even heard that was happening beyond me. Most of the girls I knew stuck to Hijabs which are incredibly simple, it’s basically a four cornered sheet of cloth that you wrap around your head real fancy, so the focus was mostly on type of fabric and patterning, not a lot of room to establish higher tiers of hijabs/etc.
Branding as a whole kind of goes against the concept of the head coverings too.
Sure, but many women choose to wear these and that’s fine if that’s what they want to do.
It’s also worn out of fear. People falsly believe it protects you from sexual assault.
Sure, but the vast majority of people wear it because it part of their religion and they want to.
I’m not religious in the slightest, but I support people’s right to choose.

Neither do I care what people wear. I’m just stating a misleading factor behind the attire.
Also, I never see nuns in public.
That’s because they can fly.
Choose to because otherwise they get kicked from the family?
I would argue those are the minority of cases.
Choose and Required are opposites.
I see plenty of Muslim women without them, indicating it’s a choice for most.
Not in countries controlled by religion.
So the issue isn’t religion its authoritarianism in these countries.
Perhaps, we should fight against that rather than the garments in question, no?
Those countries are authoritarian because of religion
Exactly! The only reason religion exists is to control the population.
I don’t believe you.
You just gotta have faith! O_o
What’s the market look like for these? Homemade to top tier brands?

I’ve no idea. I’m not religious so don’t really know.
I imagine you can get various tiers from cheap -> expensive.
