I love the month of Ramadhan, Hari Raya and the joys of pasar Ramadhans everywhere. It is such a wonderful way to lead up to the festivities of Hari Raya and open houses, the unique Malaysian festive occurrence where houses are literally open on a day for you to visit!
I am already counting the Hari Raya open house invitations and have started dreaming of having lemang, ketupat, rendang and satay at one go.
Open house invites also mean that I need a baju raya. Whilst modest clothing is absolutely fine, I always love being part of the celebration and wear a baju for my visits. Usually I would trawl the shops of Masjid India, Kamdar or Jakel to decide from a million fabric choices and find a tailor to bring my outfit to reality. This year, I decided to take my purchases online and found many different options.
Zalora
The #zaloraraya2017 is very addictive due to the vast collection. There is an ongoing sale which makes everything even more attractive! Designers of note include: Rizalman, Jovian Mandagie, Tom Abang Saufi and Melinda Looi. They have a super easy to use app which is very user friendly. While options for mamas seem endless, they don’t have anything for kids.
Fashion Valet
Founder Vivy Yusuf has a massive instagram following and the Fashion Valet Raya is truly sensational with a stellar round of designers including Alia B, Aere, Fiziwoo, Khoon Hooi, Mimpikita, Nurita Harith. They now have FVKids with some lovely options for Raya including the Pokoks . The Wau collection is one that has definitely caught our eye. A great one-stop for the Open House needs of the whole family.

Poplook
Poplook has a comprehensive collection online with something for every taste. Of particular interest is the kids collection for both boys and girls.

I know many people buy clothes on line, but I’m too worried about them not fitting to actually do it.
I had many trepidations myself but they do give quite extensive measurements and pictures. I was quite happy with my purchase but I have in other instances used their no quibble returns policy.
