An expedited alteration service launches in time for Eid al-Adha, redefining how fashion is worn, from fitting room to final look within hours.

In Abu Dhabi, luxury has long been defined by precision, discretion and attention to detail. Now, it is also being shaped by something else: time.

At The Galleria Al Maryah Island, home to leading maisons including Dior, Hermès, Prada and Elie Saab, a new same-day tailoring service is redefining how clients shop and experience fashion.

Introduced by Aldar and Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), the service offers a guaranteed three-hour alteration turnaround, bringing precision tailoring into the pace of the day.

From Fitting Room to Evening Plans

It is a subtle shift, but one that speaks directly to how luxury is evolving. Today’s client is not only investing in craftsmanship, but also in immediacy.

At The Galleria in Abu Dhabi, that expectation is met with a guaranteed three-hour alteration service, designed to ensure purchases are ready to wear the very same day. Whether preparing for Eid celebrations, last-minute travel or a high-profile event, the experience removes the need to wait.

Invisible Service, Seamless Experience

The process is designed to be almost undetectable. Inside the boutique, the experience remains unchanged. Stylists guide fittings, silhouettes are refined, and conversations unfold at an unhurried pace.

Behind the scenes, garments are transferred to Stitch in Time, where alterations are completed and returned the same day.

For the client, the effect is seamless. A purchase made in the afternoon can be worn that evening. The focus stays where it should be: on the guest, the garment and the fit.

Craft on Demand

For more complex pieces, or for luxury boutiques without in-house tailoring, specialist support can be called into the store. Accessed through a concierge line, this on-demand expertise brings an additional level of craftsmanship directly to the fitting room, designed to enhance the in-store and personalisation experience.

A Shift in How Luxury Is Experienced

While the service is currently available to a select group of luxury retailers, such as Loro Piana and Prada, its presence signals something broader. Abu Dhabi’s retail landscape is not standing still; it is responding, adapting and, increasingly, anticipating what the next phase of luxury looks like.

Experience it Now

With Eid al-Adha approaching, alongside a season of travel and high-profile events, this is luxury that moves with you.

Discover the guaranteed three-hour tailoring service, exclusively at The Galleria Al Maryah Island, and step into every occasion ready, refined and on your schedule.

An elegant new chapter begins in the heart of the Emirates.

RASARIO proudly unveils its first boutique in the UAE, located in the prestigious Galleria Mall on Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi. This landmark opening marks a significant step in the brand's global journey, bringing the allure and craftsmanship of RASARIO to a discerning Middle Eastern audience.

A Boutique Reflecting RASARIO’s Philosophy

RASARIO’s Abu Dhabi boutique embodies the brand’s dedication to artistry and timeless sophistication. Designed by the visionary Ksenia Breivo, the space is a harmonious blend of cultural heritage and contemporary elegance.

“The goal was to create a space that feels quietly luxurious while allowing the beauty of RASARIO’s creations to take center stage,” explains Ksenia. “Drawing inspiration from Abu Dhabi’s architectural landscape – its blend of ancient forms and modern innovation – the boutique bridges tradition with modernity, offering a serene yet captivating environment.”

The boutique’s architecture reflects this philosophy, featuring pyramidal structures and temple-like forms that evoke harmony and connection. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a striking belvedere, a dome-like structure that symbolizes celebration and romance. Thoughtfully divided into sections for bridal, evening, and cocktail collections, the layout ensures each category is showcased in a setting befitting its significance.

Flowing sculptures and bold, column-like pillars serve as both artistic statements and structural anchors, adding a dynamic rhythm to the boutique’s serene ambiance. Inspired by sacred geometry, golden proportions are subtly woven into the design, creating a space that captivates visually while offering an innate sense of comfort and balance.

The interior palette, inspired by the desert’s meeting of sand and sky, creates an enveloping, tranquil atmosphere. Gold accents add warmth, while sculptural furnishings shaped like desert branches evoke an oasis of elegance. Natural materials, including travertine and onyx, lend depth and refinement, while crystal-cut mirrors transform the fitting rooms into surreal spaces that amplify the beauty of RASARIO’s creations.

At the Heart: The Icons Collection

At the heart of the boutique lies the Icons collection, a tribute to RASARIO’s enduring legacy in eveningwear. This exclusive line reimagines the brand’s most beloved silhouettes, blending heritage craftsmanship with modern innovation. Intricate details such as crystal embellishments, bold cutouts, and dramatic bows capture the essence of contemporary glamour, while meticulous tailoring ensures each piece enhances the natural beauty of the wearer.

About RASARIO

^{Founded in 2012 by Rasida Lakoba, RASARIO has become a global icon in luxury eveningwear.
