It’s almost tradition to shop for your baju Raya after the first week of Ramadhan – or else you’re considered fashionably behind. In Malaysia, Raya does not just revolve around kuih and balik kampung, but it also includes the annual mission of securing the outfit. After all, looking good during Raya is crucial when it comes to celebrating a time where Muslims reconnect and rejoice after a month of discipline and devotion.
Of course, that excitement also comes with its fair share of chaos. One of the biggest challenges? Scouring the country’s streets – and even endless online tabs in today’s age – in search of the best stores offering Raya collections that balance tradition with style.
We list down seven luxe Raya collections by Malaysian designers that elevate festive dressing that will surely turn heads this coming season.
Alia Bastamam
Nocturne by Alia Bastamam is shaped by restraint and composed drama. Through every pleat and delicate draping, each piece imbues romanticism. “You don’t have to create more to create impact. I wanted to explore how drama can exist without excess,” the designer notes. The collection offers a modern interpretation of Eid dressing with ombré hues, rope-twist detailing, and sculpted corsets – intimate yet self-assured.

Khoon Hooi invites all to embrace the timeless elegance of the baju kebaya. Delicate lace borders and pleated sarong skirts, with brooches inspired by the kerongsang, bring a sense of heritage through refined tailoring. A play of textures and patterns brings a touch of light-heartedness in celebrating tradition. Rendered in embroidered cotton voile, velvet jacquard, and printed lace, the designs range from daring sheerness to elongated, refined silhouettes, catering to every preference.

Fiziwoo
With structured cuts and meticulous beading work, Hadir by Fiziwoo lets the fabric speak. The collection features silhouettes ranging from the elegant baju kebaya to the modest baju kurung, each adorned with bold hand-embroidered embellishments. Perhaps what is even more eye-catching are the asymmetrically designed tops, showcasing an overlapping construction (some even with scalloped hems), which would appeal to the fashion-forward ladies. The colour palette includes pastels, bold hues, and custom-printed fabrics, so you’ll be sure to find one that perfectly fits your family’s theme this year.
