Raishma, couture-inspired occasionwear in London

Raishma is a British occasionwear brand that presents itself as an exponent of timeless British luxury. Its offering is structured around two main lines: the London collection, featuring evening gowns with hand-applied embroidery, and the Studio collection, with exclusive hand-drawn prints. The label describes its garments as couture-inspired pieces designed for all women, according to the quote attributed to Raishma Islam on its website.

Collections and product categories

The catalogue is organised by category and by collection. Categories include dresses, gowns, co-ords, tops and shirts, jackets and coats, cardigans, suits, jumpsuits, trousers, shorts and skirts. Collections include the Printed Collection, the Beaded Collection, the Silk Collection, the Kids Collection and the Couture line, as well as a bridal section and an outlet section with printed, beaded and bridal garments.

The brand also sells a children's collection with printed dresses and two-piece sets for girls, as well as a mother-and-daughter line.

Occasions it designs for

The offering is segmented by type of event: wedding, black tie and formal, party and occasion, holiday and resort, red carpet and party season. The website includes a Wedding Collection with bridesmaid and guest dresses, and a specific selection for black tie and formal weddings. Seasonal editions such as the Occasion AW26 Collection and a gift guide also appear.

Shipping, returns and purchase conditions

The store operates with prices in pounds sterling and allows customers to select country or region and currency from a wide list of markets. The brand warns that international orders may be subject to import duties, taxes and fees set by the local customs authority, which are the customer's responsibility and not included in the price. It does not offer a return service for international orders, while for UK and UAE orders a paid return service is available. The website mentions the availability of Klarna among the payment options and announces next-day delivery.

Boutique, press and commitment

The brand has a physical store and maintains dedicated sections for press, sustainability, ethical trade and social impact. Its website features customer testimonials describing the boutique as a find in Paddington and highlighting both the design and the service received; among them are stylist Rachel Fanconi and other customers who mention commissions for weddings and events.
