KUALA LUMPUR, 5 July 2024 – Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia & Taiwan, continues to strengthen its commitment as a thriving hub for Muslimah and inclusive fashion. Shopee’s Gaya Lagi Lit Inclusive Fashion Study revealed that 9 in 10 fashion sellers now offer Muslim-friendly clothing for all sizes on the platform, with 60% of these sellers dedicating three-quarters of their inventory to cater to this growing category.
When surveyed, fashion sellers revealed a surge in demand for Muslimah and inclusive fashion. A significant 80% of respondents reported an increase in customer interest in modest, stylish, and inclusive clothing options on the platform. This data underlines the growing importance of this category within the Malaysian fashion landscape, and Shopee's position as a key player in catering to this evolving customer preference.
“Shopee is actively driving the Muslimah and inclusive fashion movement. We recognise this shift and are committed to fostering inclusivity on our platform. This is evident by 70% of sellers incorporating more size ranges and featuring diverse models. We empower sellers to cater to a wider range of body types, creating a truly representative shopping experience for all Malaysians on the platform," said Ming Kit Tan, Head of Marketing and Business Intelligence at Shopee Malaysia.
The study unveils Shopee sellers' data-driven approach to Muslimah and inclusive fashion content. 70% prioritise customer feedback and order insights for inspiration, ensuring content directly aligns with evolving customer needs. The remaining 30% of sellers utilise external sources like peer analysis, social media trends, fashion blogs, and local influencers for inspiration.
This focus on data complements the strategies of brands like Zoe Arissa. Esther, Director at Zoe Arissa, exemplifies this by stating, "We use customer reviews to improve on our products and services while utilising Shopee Live to engage and interact with our audience in real-time. As a local fashion brand, we also design a wide range of Muslim-friendly styles to ensure our products resonate with Malaysians."
Further study results reveal that price, quality, and variety are top customer priorities for Muslimah and inclusive fashion. A significant 80% of respondents identified offering high-quality products in diverse colours and sizes at affordable prices as the key driver of customer attraction. The remaining 20% prioritise differentiation through unique and authentic designs with frequent collection refreshes.
ZUCCA, a Malaysian modest fashion brand, exemplifies this focus. “We design our garments to respect cultural and religious values while allowing for personal expression. By providing a diverse range of contemporary and traditional styles, we ensure that every woman can find something that fits her unique taste. Additionally, we are committed to affordability, making it possible for all our customers to enjoy high-quality, modest fashion without compromising on style or budget," commented Nurul Syamira, Co-Founder of ZUCCA.
