• Raya is so fascinating. Some have even coined it as the ‘Muslim Met Gala’ because that is the time of year where everyone busts out their best outfits; with the sole purpose of serving looks. Perfect for those aesthetic Instagram snapshots and whatnot. Amidst the perfect baju raya, the most thoughtful gifts, and shoes that won’t betray us during those long house visits; take a moment to ask, “What else is missing?” What is that little something that ties it all together? That’s right – the perfect handbag! Ditch the ordinary and dive into some luxury that’ll make your Raya morning pop.

Bottega Veneta

When you close your eyes and picture Raya, what colour floods your mind? For me, it’s undeniably green. The lush, vibrant green of kampung fields, of freshly woven ketupat. And speaking of ketupat, doesn’t the woven leather on this Bottega Veneta Bang Bang bag just scream “Raya“? It’s like a tiny, stylish ketupat you can carry! This little gem is the perfect shade of festive green, small enough to be effortlessly chic, yet big enough to hold all your Raya essentials. It’s a burst of Raya spirit in a handbag.

Prada

Ah, black. The chameleon of colours, the ultimate go-to. It’s the colour that never fails, the one-colour-fits-all. Prada’s Re-nylon and Nappa Leather Mini Bag with Bow is a masterclass in understated elegance. And with the recent “coquette” trend still reigning supreme, the cute bow on this bag is perfect to ride the wave. It’s sweet, it’s chic, and it’s the perfect companion for any Raya ensemble. Imagine it nestled against your baju, a delicate contrast that elevates your entire look.

Louis Vuitton

Raya is all about pastel. It’s about the soft, soothing hues that bring a sense of calm. Think pastel pinks, the colours of a gentle sunrise, the kind that whispers peace. And that’s exactly what Louis Vuitton’s Sunset Bag delivers. It’s a dreamy pastel pink, a colour that breathes tranquility. This bag is a statement piece, a whisper of luxury that pairs perfectly with any pastel Raya outfit. It’s like carrying a slice of a serene Raya morning with you.

Bonia

Bonia’s “Raya in Bloom” campaign is the Raya tribute we are looking for. And the Nuccia Monogram Shoulder Bag? It’s the epitome of refined style. The neutral nude, accented with subtle hints of dark green, showcases a perfect balance. It’s like a gentle breeze on a warm Raya afternoon – refreshing and elegant. The green accents don’t overwhelm; they complement, creating a harmonious blend that whispers sophistication.

Chanel

Grey, especially pastel grey, is another colour that seamlessly blends with any outfit. It’s a quiet sort sophistication. It’s also a popular colour choice for Raya, offering a chic alternative to the usual brighter hues. Chanel’s Mini Flap Bag with Top Handle is a delicate masterpiece. It’s small, yes, but it packs a punch in terms of style. Think of it as the final flourish to your Raya outfit, the elegant bow that ties everything together. It’s a delicate whisper of luxury, yet it’s capable of starting the raya morning with a bang.
