7 stores you should check out for a stylish Raya this 2023
Hanna Rauda
With 3 boutiques all across Klang Valley and an online store, Hanna Rauda has been a staple for those looking for elegant and simple styles that put the wearer centrestage. And for mummies who want to make their Raya an extra special occasion with their daughters, the brand also offers matching mother-daughter outfits from their Lily Series!
Similarly, the menswear selections are a further extension of their ethos on simple, beautiful silhouettes, but with more concise selection than the womenswear. Prices start from around RM150, and you can even find other accessories to go with your new outfit.
Do take note that online order would take 7 working days for them to ship your order, so plan accordingly to receive your baju Raya on time! Feel free to check them out here or visit any of their boutiques at Kuang, Bukit Rahman Putra and Bangi.
