Monthly mail clubs have hit the KL art scene and I couldn't be happier! I love receiving goodies in the mail and I looove physical art! Its an affordable and fun way to support your local art scene too ✨

My favorite right now is @pauliticalart 's Straits Mail Club! I've learned so much about my country's history and my own roots since following Paul's work and I'm so grateful someone is educating people on these topics while making it fun and beautiful!

It's so exciting knowing something wonderful is waiting for you in the mail every month! Please check out Paul's work and the mail club if you're into history, or just want to support the local arts scene!

It was a very sweet weekend. Not every marketplace is busy; some are quieter and more relaxed. But what is most consistent is the people who come together to support one another. To encourage one another. And that is what makes each marketplace special and a reason to carry on.

Thank you for everyone who made Laujiat Malaysia Day significant and meaningful. We hope to continue building this together. Love seeing our Families together.

Okay lah, you asked — here are some of our local talents! 👀✨
We’ve been getting quite a few questions about which artworks are made by Malaccan artists, so we thought… okay, let’s introduce them properly!

🌷 @handmade_bysewling
Their motto says it best:
“Romantic is the unique and thoughtful production.”
Thoughtfully made pieces with a little touch of romance — perfect for those who appreciate the little details. 💕

🏮 @pauliticalart
For the “Malaysia dulu-dulu” lovers. 👀🇲🇾
Paul turns nostalgic Malaysian scenes, heritage and everyday little moments into charming traditional-media illustrations.
His artwork has that special “eh, I remember this!” feeling — the kind that makes you stop, look twice, and maybe feel a little nostalgic. 🥹✨

🧶 @rootsandpetals2025
And then there’s this lovely creative family — Mom with her crochet, daughter with her line-cut art and handprints, and granddaughter with her very own sticker creations.
Three generations, three different creative styles, all under one family. 🥹💛

Different stories, different crafts, but all made with heart.

Come by and see if you can spot their work around the shop! 👀🌿

More Malaccan artists to unlock next time. 🫶🏻

Setelah beberapa bulan menganyam cerita, merangkai identiti dan menyulam warisan, Pameran Kebaya KITA: Antara Ceritera, Identiti dan Ekspresi akhirnya melabuhkan tirainya.

Majlis Penutupan pada 5 September 2026 turut diserikan dengan tayangan dokumentari Kampung Life, Kebaya Stories, sesi Bicara Warisan bersama Puan Zahirah Noor, sesi Kebaya Then & Now bersama Thiepaaan Raaj, persembahan kebudayaan Pages of Time serta lawatan berpandu ke pameran.

Setinggi-tinggi penghargaan dan terima kasih kepada pihak yang terlibat, rakan kolaborasi, penyumbang, para pengunjung serta semua pihak yang telah bersama-sama menjayakan perjalanan Pameran Kebaya KITA.

Tirai telah dilabuhkan, namun cerita Kebaya KITA akan terus hidup dalam ingatan.

What makes a place feel like home?

For Yuvenes and Paul, the answer lies in the stories, traditions and details that their home states uniquely theirs.

Watch their takes on The Best Of Negeri Sembilan and Melaka.
