Shopee Unveils 2024 Raya Fashion Trends Online

Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, unveiled Raya Stail Kita study of Malaysian shopping preferences online this Ramadan and Raya season. 

The survey of over 1,000 online shoppers conducted last month reveals a rich tapestry of influences, from modest wear to nostalgic traditions, guiding Malaysians’ personal fashion styles and beauty trends. 

Every year, the platform observes its peak e-commerce shopping and delivery periods for 52 days over Ramadan and Raya as Malaysians actively seek clothes and accessories to prepare for balik kampung.

The overwhelming majority of Malaysians, over 9 in 10 surveyed, are driven to shop foremost by coordinating looks with their whole family this Raya. 

Within this group, 50% want colour- coordinated outfits, 16% match in comfort and practicality for specific functions, 14% pick one fabric, brand, or theme to wear, and 12% pick a 2024 trend to follow. Only a minority, 8%, of shoppers do not consider what their families are wearing when they shop online.

In selecting the style of their Raya outfits, half of Malaysian shoppers express preference for statement-making layers of colours, patterns, and fabrics, such as eye-popping vibrant prints from Bayu Somerset, bright sampins from Zoey Rahman’s Mikawear, and textured lace by Zoe Arissa. 

Four in ten preferred nostalgic and traditional styles such as checkered print sarongs from Asikin Ahmad and kaftan kurungs from Hernes.

 

Whereas 15% are searching for outfits in a particularly trending colour from sellers like Inhanna, Indah Persona, Panda Eyes, and Adnaa as they type ‘red brick,’ ‘brown orange’, or ‘bata merah,’ in their keywords on Shopee’s search bar.

When asked, “What motivates your Raya shopping choices on Shopee?”, half of survey respondents said that they select upcoming Raya outfits driven by religious and cultural traditions, referencing Shopee’s personalised fashion selections and keyword search recommendations to find modest wear outfits to add to cart. 

A third of respondents look for Shopee sellers’ wide range of baju kebaya, baju kurung, and baju melayu offerings in various fabrics and prints in order to celebrate their individuality and express their personal style. Two in ten pick modern outfits in line with latest trends.

Across the platform, Malaysians overwhelmingly prefer cotton (over 50%) as the fabric of choice, followed by silks (20%) and Songket (15%). A minority shop for brocade and organza. The top colours Malaysians are shopping for this Raya are: neutral tones (50%), then flaming vibrant colours like reds, oranges and gold yellow (30%), followed by solid dark greens and purples (20%).

In fact, the most popular baju according to Raya Stail Kita is cotton in neutral tones, with 3 in 10 buying this. The survey also reveals that 90% of Malaysians surveyed will wear their Baju Raya multiple times throughout the year, a sign that sustainable values have taken root even during the busiest e-commerce shopping period.

In addition to fashion, Malaysians are actively shopping for makeup and cosmetic skincare this Raya, from popular local brands such as Y.O.U, Wardah, Simply Siti, Silky Girl, Papa Feel, Mika Series, lemooc, Emina, Dazzle Me, Barrenbliss, alha alfa, and AISASEA on Shopee. 

The majority of Raya Stail Kita survey respondents prioritise beauty and makeup product benefits (40%), followed by brand loyalty (30%), and trending skincare (20%).

When making decisions on beauty products, a significant 70% surveyed trust beauty influencers and expert recommendations, whereas 30% prefer to make independent choices. Shopee Live plays a big role in how Malaysians shop beauty, with 90% tuning into Shopee Live to watch featured products, and 4 in 10 of these live audience members specifically seeking skincare benefits and long-lasting makeup.

When asked what features of the Shopee platform enhanced their Raya shopping journeys the most, 60% of Malaysians surveyed are cashing in on exclusive discounts and promotions during #RayaBersamaShopee campaign. 

30% choose to shop on Shopee for its wide variety of product selections and ease of finding the sellers’ products, while 10% trust in Shopee’s customer service, user-friendly interface, and Livestream capabilities.

In choosing sellers of choice to buy from, customer reviews play a crucial role, with 85% of respondents considering them important, particularly valuing verified Shopee purchases and Shopee's customer feedback.

In response to this,  and in line with Shopee’s mission to drive an inclusive marketplace, Shopee is proudly debuting #ShopeeRaiLokal Raya Stail Kita fashion show, which will be livestreamed on Shopee Mamak at 2:30pm on 5 March 2024 for all Malaysians. 

In collaboration with  muslim fashion brands, beauty sellers, Zoey Rahman, Dato’ Jovian Mandagie, and Habib Jewels, Shopee intends to dress Malaysians in a wholesome, inclusive way this Raya with dignity and affordably for every occasion. Malaysians will get to learn how to style themselves from Managing Editor of Nona, Hijabista, and Mingguan Wanita, Kiffy Razak, and be treated to a performance by Shopee's Ambassador, Malaysian singer and celebrity, Iman Troye.

Dermatologist-Backed Skincare Solution, CeraVe is now officially in Malaysia

CeraVe, the world's leading dermatological skincare brand, recently marked its official launch in Malaysia, making its products available at major pharmacies across the country. 

With a focus on addressing prevalent skin issues in Malaysia, such as sensitive skin, dry skin and atopic dermatitis resulting from damaged skin barrier, CeraVe introduces its six-core products to cater to diverse skincare needs.

CeraVe's journey began in 2005 with the recognition that dermatological skin issues often stem from decreased levels of ceramides in the skin resulting in disrupted skin barrier and this in turn causes skin dehydration, dryness, and irritation. Drawing upon this scientific understanding, a panel of certified dermatologists formulated CeraVe with human skin-identical ceramides (Ceramide 1, 3, and 6-II), fatty acids, and other lipids, delivered effectively through MultiVesicular Emulsion Technology (MVE). This innovative technology not only restores skin barrier function but also provides long-term moisturisation with just one use, helping to retain moisture for healthy and comfortable skin.

Ashlee Ng, General Manager of L’Oreal Malaysia's Dermatological Beauty Division, emphasised the importance of accessibility to dermatologist-backed products, stating, "With only one dermatologist for every 241,000 people in Malaysia, many individuals lack access to professional skincare recommendations. 

CeraVe, globally recognised for its efficacy in restoring the skin's natural barrier, aims to bridge this accessibility gap for Malaysians."

“As compared to regular moisturisers with a single release formulation, CeraVe’s unique MVE technology delivers and releases essential ceramides throughout the day after just one application, resulting in prolonged hydration. 

This helps with ensuring the skin is constantly hydrated and improving skin health. We are committed to expanding access to skincare products like CeraVe in Malaysia, while also empowering individuals with knowledge, as this will greatly contribute to improved skin health for many." Ng added.

The launch event featured a panel discussion focusing on the skin barrier's crucial role in maintaining overall skin health. Experts emphasised the crucial need to protect and restore the skin barrier, with poignant real-life accounts from individuals grappling with skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema reinforcing the necessity for effective skincare solutions. 

Furthermore, brand representatives elaborated on CeraVe's ground-breaking formulations and unwavering commitment to nurturing a healthy skin barrier.

The formulation of CERAmides with MVE technology led to the creation of CERAVE, an affordable, accessible, and therapeutic skincare solution for all. Developed and recommended by dermatologists worldwide, CeraVe offers a line of skincare products to help restore the skin’s natural barrier.

Moisturising Cream - Suitable for users who have dry to very dry skin, the moisturising cream provides 48-hour hydration.

Moisturising Lotion - Suitable for people with normal or dry skin, the lightweight oil- free formulation provides 24-hour hydration.

Foaming Cleanser - This gentle foaming cleanser removes dirt, oil, and makeup without making skin feel tight or dry.

Hydrating Cleanser - The Hydrating cleanser gently cleanses, removes excess oil, and refreshes your skin without disrupting the skin barrier.

AM Facial Moisturising Lotion - A broad-spectrum SPF 30 Moisturiser that provides continuous hydration and daily protection against UV damage.

PM Facial Moisturising Lotion - Hydrate, calm, and soothe your skin while protecting the skin barrier.

From 1st Mar until 3rd March, the public is invited to visit the Bookmark at APW Bangsar to explore CeraVe's product range, gain insights into the significance of restoring the skin barrier, and receive complimentary samples and gifts. Additionally, visitors can receive free skin hydration analysis and indulge in moisturizing hand massages provided by visually impaired masseuses.

Fabio Asher started singing from junior high and has also won several local singing competitions as qell as  coming out as one of the TOP 30 finalist in Xfactor Indonesia 2021.

Bella Hazaha Makes Pyjama Fashion Go Viral on Shopee Live

One homegrown Shopee Live entrepreneur has disrupted the Malaysian sleepwear market by targeting customers searching for trendy, modest, and affordable pyjamas that can be worn publicly. Bella Hazaha Pyjamas, launched in September 2023, has carved out a unique space in ready-to-wear pyjama fashion, by selling over 500 pyjamas daily and becoming a top seller on Shopee Live.

"Shopee Live has been a game-changer," says founder Bella. "Gone are the days of niche social media advertising. Now, I connect directly with customers, showcasing products in real time. It's like having a personal shopping assistant – the platform tracks orders while the host explains each pyjama's details. This has streamlined operations and boosted my business significantly. I even opened a physical office and warehouse to meet demand!"

Redefining Sleepwear Beyond the Bedroom

Going beyond traditional sleepwear, Bella Hazaha shatters stereotypes with bold prints, vibrant colours, and playful patterns. Their best-selling Kaftan Dress, designed by Bella herself, resonates with women who crave both comfort and self-expression, boasting over 36,600 pieces sold. The collection consists of 16 stunning patterns, ensuring every woman finds her perfect match, from ‘Daisy’ to ‘Leopard print’.

“Our customers are owning their individuality,” she explains. “While satin and silk sleepwear offer undeniable luxury and sensuality, their hefty price tag can be a barrier for many. We strive to create affordable luxury fashion pieces without compromising on quality. That’s why we use cotton mix for our sleepwear. This material isn't just budget-friendly, but it also provides comfort and practicality, offering low maintenance and easy care.”

Harnessing the power of live streaming, Bella revolutionises the way customers connect and shop. During a recent session with over 3,400 viewers, a viewer asked, "What size is right for me? I'm 151cm and 60kg." The host, demonstrating quick thinking and product expertise, promptly recommended a size ‘S’ and went on to explain the brand's sizing guide in detail, giving viewers confidence in their purchase decision. The brand goes live daily at 12PM, offering Malaysians not just affordable pyjamas below RM30 but also a friendly and informative shopping companion.

Personalising Audience Experience

To maintain brand consistency, Bella handpicks and trains each host as a brand ambassador. “I believe that livestream hosts are not just tasked to answer questions  – they are the face of our brand. I ensure that my hosts are trained far beyond scripts, standardising everything from makeup and headscarf styles to host-audience interaction. It’s a demanding approach, but what truly sets us apart is our ability to captivate viewers with both stunning fashion and genuine connection."

Bella Hazaha’s live team drives a sevenfold increase in sales through captivating Shopee Live sessions. Since its launch, the brand has strategically expanded its team from three to eight hosts, attributing a significant portion of its sales success to their lively streams that build trust and drive conversions.

"Maintaining energy and engagement during our four to eight hour daily streams demands a lot from our hosts," says Bella. "To ensure their well-being and maximise viewer interaction, we rotate between two hosts per stream, allowing for short breaks and recharged energy. Peak sales periods on Shopee can be intense, with viewership spiking over sevenfold from an average of 36,000 views. We prioritise addressing every comment, fostering a sense of community and ensuring no viewer feels neglected." she concluded.

Checking out the new Samsung Galaxy S24

The Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 are unleashing new mobile experiences with Galaxy AI. Galaxy S series leads the way into a new era that will forever change how mobile devices empower users. AI amplifies nearly every experience on Galaxy S24 series, from enabling barrier-free communication with intelligent text and call translations, to maximizing creative freedom with Galaxy’s ProVisual Engine, to setting a new standard for search that will change how Galaxy users discover the world around them. 

“The Galaxy S24 series transforms our connection with the world and ignites the next decade of mobile innovation,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. "Galaxy AI is built on our innovation heritage and deep understanding of how people use their phones. We're excited to see how our users around the world empower their everyday lives with Galaxy AI to open up new possibilities.”    

Make Everyday Experiences Epic

Galaxy AI introduces meaningful intelligence aimed at enhancing every part of life, especially the phone’s most fundamental role: communication. When you need to defy language barriers, Galaxy S24 makes it easier than ever. Chat with another student or colleague from abroad. Book a reservation while on vacation in another country. It’s all possible with Live Translate, two-way, real-time voice and text translations of phone calls within the native app. No third-party apps are required, and on-device AI keeps conversations completely private. 

With Interpreter, live conversations can be instantly translated on a split-screen view so people standing opposite each other can read a text transcription of what the other person has said. It even works without cellular data or Wi-Fi. 

For messages and other apps, Chat Assist can help perfect conversational tones to ensure communication sounds as it was intended: like a polite message to a coworker or a short and catchy phrase for a social media caption. AI built into Samsung Keyboard can also translate messages in real-time in 13 languages. In the car, Android Auto will automatically summarize incoming messages and suggest relevant replies and actions, like sending someone your ETA, so you can stay connected while staying focused on the road.

Organization also gets a big boost with Note Assist in Samsung Notes, featuring AI-generated summaries, template creation that streamlines notes with pre-made formats, and cover creation to make notes easy to spot with a brief preview. For voice recordings, even when there are multiple speakers, Transcript Assist uses AI and Speech-to-Text technology to transcribe, summarize and even translate recordings.

Communication isn’t the only way Galaxy S24 series takes the fundamental benefits of the phone into the future. Online search has transformed nearly every aspect of life. Galaxy S24 marks a milestone in the history of search as the first phone to debut intuitive, gesture-driven Circle to Search with Google. To give Galaxy users an incredible new tool, Galaxy turned to the worldwide leader of search, Google, and opened up new forms of discovery with a simple gesture. With a long press on the home button, users can circle, highlight, scribble on, or tap anything on Galaxy S24’s screen to see helpful, high-quality search results. Seeing a beautiful landmark in the background of a friend’s social media post or a surprising fun fact on YouTube Shorts can quickly become an accurate search to learn more – without having to leave that app. And depending on a user‘s location, for certain searches, generative AI-powered overviews can provide helpful information and context pulled together from across the web, and users can ask more complex and nuanced questions. It’s that easy. And that epic.

Unleash Creativity to Discover the World in New Ways

Galaxy S24 series’s ProVisual Engine is a comprehensive suite of AI-powered tools that transform image capturing abilities and maximize creative freedom every step of the way, from setting up a shot all the way to sharing it on social. Gone are shaky, pixelated images taken from far away. Galaxy S24 Ultra’s Quad Tele System, with new 5x optical zoom lens, works with the 50MP sensor to enable optical-quality performance at zoom levels from 2x, 3x, 5x to 10x magnification thanks to Adaptive Pixel Sensor. Images also show crystal clear results at 100x with enhanced digital zoom.

With upgraded Nightography capabilities, photos and videos shot on Galaxy S24 Space Zoom are brilliant in any conditions, even when zoomed in. Capture more light in dim conditions with Galaxy S24 Ultra’s larger pixel size, now 1.4 μm, which is 60% bigger  compared to the previous model. Blur is reduced on Galaxy S24 Ultra with wider optical image stabilizer (OIS) angles and enhanced hand-shake compensation. When recording videos, both front and rear cameras are equipped with Dedicated ISP Block for noise reduction, and Galaxy S24 analyzes gyro information to distinguish between the filmer’s movement and the subject’s. This allows more effective noise removal and clear videos in the dark, even from far away.

After great shots are captured, innovative Galaxy AI editing tools enable simple edits like erase, re-compose, and remaster. For easier and more efficient optimizations, Edit Suggestion uses Galaxy AI to suggest perfectly suitable tweaks for each photo. To give users even more creative control and freedom, Generative Edit can fill in parts of an image background with generative AI. When a picture is crooked, AI will fill in the borders. When an object needs to be slightly moved to be in the perfect position, AI lets users adjust the position of the subject and generates a perfectly blended background in its original spot. Anytime Galaxy S24 deploys generative AI to amplify an image, a watermark will appear on the image and in metadata. And if an action-packed video needs to be slowed down, new Instant Slow-mo can generate additional frames based on movements to smoothly slow down action-packed moments for a more detailed look. 

To ensure every image stuns at every stage, Super HDR reveals lifelike previews before the shutter is ever pressed. And while capturing memories is an essential phone feature, sharing memories with the world is just as meaningful. Now, third-party social apps make the most of Galaxy’s AI-powered camera system. Premium Galaxy S series camera features now integrate directly with mobile apps in HDR to level up social sharing. When it’s time to find an image in Gallery or Instagram feed and reels, photos and videos are also shown in Super HDR for a more lifelike range of brightness, color and contrast by analyzing highlighted section of the images. 

Galaxy’s Most Intelligent Experience Ever, Powered by Premium Performance

As AI becomes a more prominent part of everyday life, performance power must excel to meet the demands. Gaming. Heavy-duty video recording and editing. Jumping between five apps to  plan a trip. Whatever the task, Galaxy S24 provides an incredible experience thanks to enhancements in its chipset, display and more. Every Galaxy S24 Ultra is equipped with  Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform for Galaxy. Optimized especially for Galaxy users, this chipset delivers remarkable NPU improvement for incredibly efficient AI processing. In all three Galaxy S24 models, 1-120 Hz adaptive refresh rates also improve performance efficiency. 

Galaxy gaming is more powerful thanks to hardware and software improvements. Galaxy S24 Ultra boast an optimal thermal control system with a1.9 times larger vapor chamber, improving device surface temperature while also maximizing sustained performance power. Ray tracing enables life-like visuals with superior shadow and reflection effect. And through collaboration with industry-leading gaming partners, Galaxy S24 let users enjoy more optimized popular global mobile games.  

Visuals are more vibrant and captivating on the brightest Galaxy display ever. Galaxy S24 reaches 2,600nit peak brightness and delivers improved outdoor visibility with Vision Booster. 

On the display, Corning® Gorilla® Armor on the Galaxy S24 Ultra is optically enhanced anddemonstrates superior durability against damage caused by everyday scratches. It delivers dramatically reduced reflection by up to 75% in a wide range of lighting conditions, ensuring a smooth, comfortable viewing experience. 

Across the Galaxy S24 series, design enhancements with slimmer and even bezels make it easier to immerse in any viewing experience and enable larger screen sizes on Galaxy S24+’s 6.7-inch and Galaxy S24’s 6.2-inch displays within nearly the same size specifications. Galaxy S24 Ultra has a 6.8-inch flatter display, optimized not just for viewing but also for productivity. Plus, Galaxy S24+ now supports the same level of QHD+ found on Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Advanced Security and Privacy Empowers User Choice and Trust 

Secured by Samsung Knox, Galaxy’s defense-grade, multi-layer security platform, Galaxy S24 series safeguards critical information and protects against vulnerabilities with end-to-end secure hardware, real-time threat detection and collaborative protection.

Samsung’s long-standing commitment to provide users choice and control over their device continues in the era of AI. Galaxy S24 series users have full controllability over how much they allow their data to enhance AI experiences, through Advanced Intelligence settings which can disable online processing of data for AI features.  

The Knox Matrix vision of a secure, connected and password-less future is also advanced with passkeys. Passkeys enable convenient and secure access to a users’ registered websites and apps across all their trusted devices through digital credentials, helping protect against phishing attacks. Enhanced Data Protection offers end-to-end encryption when users backup, sync or restore their data with Samsung Cloud, allowing Galaxy S24 series users to connect to other devices while staying synchronized and secure. This ensures the data can only be encrypted or decrypted on a user’s devices, meaning nobody can see it but the user, even if a server is compromised or account details are stolen. And if access to a trusted device is lost, a recovery code can help prevent loss of data. Galaxy S24 series is also protected with Samsung’s expansive list of innovative security and privacy features including Knox Vault, Security & Privacy Dashboard, Auto Blocker, Secure Wi-Fi, Private Share, Maintenance Mode and more. 

The Next Phase of Samsung’s Environmental Journey

Establishing a new category of mobile experiences also means reimagining how Galaxy technology is designed and packaged to do more with less for people and the planet. Galaxy S24 series continues to scale the variety of recycled materials in Galaxy devices by applying recycled plastics, glass and aluminum to internal and external components. It also takes these efforts one step further. For the first time, Galaxy S24 features series components made with recycled cobalt and rare earth elements. In Galaxy S24 Ultra, a minimum of 50% recycled cobalt was used in the battery, and 100% recycled rare earth elements were incorporated into the speakers. 

Galaxy S24 series is also the first Galaxy S series to be designed with recycled steel and Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). Galaxy S24 Ultra features a minimum of 40% recycled steel in the speakers, and it includes a minimum of 10% pre-consumer recycled TPU in the side and volume keys. Additionally, every Galaxy S24 series comes in a packaging box made from 100% recycled paper material. 

The latest flagship continues Samsung’s commitment to extending the product lifecycle, offering seven generations of OS upgrades and seven years of security updates to help users reliably experience the optimized performance of their Galaxy devices for even longer. Lastly, Galaxy S24 series is UL ECOLOGO® certified, and its carbon footprint has been measured and verified by The Carbon Trust. 

Galaxy S24 series is a demonstration of progress against Samsung MX’s environmental roadmap. Samsung remains steadfast in delivering on its set of goals to be achieved by the end of 2025. At the end of 2022, Samsung achieved the first of these goals by incorporating recycled materials in all mobile products, from Galaxy smartphones and tablets to PCs and wearables. Today, the company is setting a new recycled material goal. By 2030, Samsung will incorporate at least one recycled material in every module of every mobile product.

Precision Technology and Elegance in Every Detail

Galaxy S24 Ultra is the first-ever Galaxy phone to feature a titanium frame, enhancing device durability and longevity. Galaxy S24 Ultra’s significantly thinner body enables better on-the-go experience with more comfortable grip. On Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24, a streamlined One-mass design satisfies a more aesthetic standard with seamless connection between the device’s rear cover and side frame. 

The Galaxy S24 series comes in Earth mineral-inspired color tones. On Galaxy S24 Ultra, colors include: Titanium Gray, Titanium Black, Titanium Violet and Titanium Yellow. On Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 colors include: Onyx Black, Marble Gray, Cobalt Violet and Amber Yellow. All three models will come with additional colors available online only.
