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.
Caftanist
From batik to embroidery and satin, Caftanist is a brand that offers you the privilege of choice without having to look too far. Contrary to their name, the brand offers more than just billowy caftans, with their silhouettes spanning more traditional lines such as Baju Kebayas to newer, contemporary drapes, depending on your preferences.
Their Shimmer Raya 2023 collection is especially eye-catching with their jewel tone fabrics and delicate draping. For those who are looking for quality and elegance without breaking your bank balance, you’ll be glad to know that their prices start from RM169 here. For more information, visit their site here.
Zalia
Need something that you can wear on the everyday, but also jazz up with just a few simple touches for Raya? Then consider peeking into Zalia, a local brand that offers some versatile separates that work for the day-to-day, just as well as they do for that kenduri at dusk. Don’t let their ‘Basic’ range fool you, as the right combination of strategically picked jewelries can take you from corporate girlboss to social butterfly.
The price range is definitely at the more affordable area with pieces going as low as RM99. Available exclusively on fashion e-commerce platform Zalora, check out their full range this Raya by tapping here.
