This year, Eid is definitely going to be a unique experience given the Covid-19 pandemic. You may not be doing the usual stuff like visiting, kissing your older family members’ hands (Salam) and eating as many treats as you want after fasting for a month. This Eid, you might be visiting by video calling your loved ones, asking for forgiveness via video calls and eating your own Hari Raya treats at the comfort of your own homes. So, with such a unique experience, we would like to recommend 8 Indie brands for your unique for-show-only Raya clothes that you can easily order online!

Anaabu is a brand that is concerned with the environment. Anaabu values sustainable fashion which is part of their effort in doing good to the ecosystem. Their Eid Campaign for 2020 is a beautiful and sustainable collection with the theme of Nature (Alam).
Anaabu caters to not just women, but also men (yay!). Their designs are very minimalist and consist of colours close to those you see around you (nature). Our personal favourite thing about Anaabu's designs is that they have many loose clothes so we have more space to eat all our delicious rendang and lontong (thank you very much). So if this Hari Raya, you feel like looking cool and you want to own cooling clothes, Anaabu is definitely for you.
They do worldwide shipping of their products but be sure to note that orders placed Monday through Friday by 9.00 am (excluding holidays) are shipped the same day. Whereas orders placed after 9.00 am or holidays are shipped the next business day. Orders placed on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday will be shipped out the following Tuesday (excluding holidays). On top of that, shipping time might take longer during festive seasons, early release of collection, or if your parcel gets held back for customs clearance.

Whimsigirl is a brand made for all girls. They make beautiful designs that are sweet and funky. The best part is, they cater to a range of sizes (XS - XXL). This is definitely a brand that brings out the feminine (and a little playful) side of you. Additionally, their brand makes inclusive collection for all the Everyday Girls - the creative girl, the corporate girl, the minimalistic girl, the girly girl, the sporty girl, the expectant mum, nursing mums. Basically every girl out there!
Their Eid Collection is called EID Girl: Nona and carries a range of designs or many different colours (definitely worth your attention). However, if you are really keen, be sure to place orders fast as a lot of their Eid designs are sold out (hurry!).

Calling all the vintage fashion lovers as you could wear a vintage piece this Raya when you purchase designs from Arared. Arared has curated vintage collections that carry Ready-to-Wear and Made-to-Measure pieces and shoes under their own label. Arared caters to all women who know how to own it and have the confidence to just be themselves.
Arared has got an exclusive collection that caters to those who love silk and exquisite designs. Be sure to place your orders immediately as their designs get sold out pretty quickly too.

The thing about Adrianna Yariqa is that, you could look good wearing their labels even in the current situation as in their Eid collection this year, they have masks (adult and kid sizes) to match their awesome Raya clothes!
Adrianna Yariqa caters to men, women, and even children. The best part is, the designs are definitely Instagram-worthy as they have such lovely colour combinations and a modern feel without losing the modesty.
For some men, wearing the full Baju Melayu could be redundant this year as we would most probably spend Eid at home. There are some kurtas that you could check out from their collection. Their kurtas would still invoke a festive feel as well as comfort (not too hot).
Shipping: Their shipping rates are calculated upon checkout.
