We’ve rounded up the best brands for you to click ‘add to cart’ here:
-
Anaabu
This unisex independent apparel label is all about keeping things minimalistic yet timeless and chic. The brand is designed and manufactured in Malaysia and mostly works with linen and cotton as well as muted colours and minimal adornment to create perfect essential items.
Check out their women’s air wrapped sarung from their Eid collection titled ‘Sukma’ Tanah dan Air’ that would do double duty for the festive celebration and a vacay in Bali. The guys (and girls) can opt for the Nyawo Keyhole Top that can be paired either with a sarung or jeans.

Elrah World
As the saying goes, ‘Manners maketh man’ but looking dapper in baju melayu, kurta, sampin, and jubah certainly helps. Their baju melayu in light blue will help you to look elegant and fresh while those who want to add a royal touch to their wardrobe can pick up their baju melayu in gold.

Songket Dunia
Besides having a classy baju melayu, having a standout songket is also key. Check out this songket store which boats over a thousand designs of sampin songket, baju melayu nikah, and baju melayu. We love this mint green sampin stays true to the Raya colour theme with a contemporary twist. This blue, silver, and peach sampin is 100% woven and not printed. This is something that can be worn again and again!

This brand with sophisticated and ready-to-wear pieces was even featured in British Vogue last year. Their pieces exude class and elegance, and you can appear fashionable all day long while going house to house to eat ‘kek batik’. This Salome Kurung Kedah in Emerald has mini puffy shoulders and a Mandarin collar that will make you look tasteful. The gents can go for comfort without compromising on style with this baju melayu in navy blue.

Mimpikita
Three sisters based in KL came up with a brand that creates pieces that are chic yet modest. Last year, they even collaborated with Samsung for ensembles inspired by the Samsung Galaxy Z Series. They also carry bags, caps, scarves, shawls, shoes, and more.
This Hanna Powder Blue Boxy Kurung is embroidered with a gorgeous floral design and comes with a Fuschia instant pareo skirt that is sure to turn heads. Rather than go for the simple baju kurungs, this Arianna Fuchsia Collared Kurung comes with an elegant collared neckline and comes in bright shades that will make you look trendy.

Jovian Mandagie
This bold designer has showcased his collections in London, Prague, and Dubai and dressed queens and princesses along the way. You can also feel like royalty in one of his feminine pieces such as the Stella Modern Peplum Dress in Baby Pink with a mermaid skirt or look like a prince in the Aqeef Modern Baju Melayu in black.

Whimsigirl
This brand offers comfortable daily wear and stylish Raya fits and has become a go-to brand for the season over the years. Its loose-fitting clothes have become popular with Malaysian women and first became known for its designer’s reinterpretation of the baju kurung Kedah. Make your Eid extraordinary with their ‘Eid Luar Biasa’ collection. This cross-stitch wrap skirt in jade or this wrap skirt in blue will fit well even if you’ve had one too many ketupat.

Bellapizo
There is something to suit every occasion here from traditional outfits to breeze daytime tops. Founded by Ayenn Jamal and Sheila Salleh, this brand carries carefully curated pieces that are light and sophisticated. Consider going for their Acacia in Sage Green, a classic green kebaya top and a wrap-knotted skirt that accentuates curves. Or go for their selendang bunga in rosey blush for a formal affair.

Zalia
If you like luxury labels Zuhair Murad and Ellie Saab, you’ll love Zalia too. This private brand gets its inspiration from runway trends and adds a traditional touch to it. Go pink, go beige, or get both with their Hari Raya collection. Their Zalia printed shawl comes in gorgeous blue and pink shades with a floral geometric print. A simple pleated pattern imbues luxury into this Puff Sleeve Kurung Set with Pleat Skirt. If your wardrobe is about all things black, you’ll want to get your hands on their Lace Kebarung with Dress set.
Shop the brand on Zalora.

Zoe Arissa
If you struggle to search for modest wear fashion, Zoe Arissa caters specifically to young Muslimahs and teens. This is also the brand you should look up if you’re attending a wedding soon (it seems to us as if people are getting married nonstop this year). This Qistina kurung comes in an assortment of colours such as champagne and green tea and is made of premium satin silk that is breathable. The best thing about their Aarifa Jubah is that it doesn’t need ironing and that its A-cut design is flattering to the body.
