#SapotLokal: 9 Local Malaysian Brands We Love!
BloomThis Supports #Lokal
Let's be honest. The pandemic has been hard on all of us, especially so for small local businesses. They aren't big corporations with huge budgets. They're our mums, our neighbours, our uncles & aunties, our friends. They're real people and they need all the help they can get to keep their business running.
In celebration of Merdeka month, we want to do what we can to help these small businesses by shining a spotlight on them and sharing their story. So here it is, a list of amazing local Malaysian brands that deserve your love, from IG shops to up & coming Malaysian start-ups.
Together, let's #kitajagakita and continue to #sapotlokal this Merdeka!
Bobble - Malaysia's First Eco-Organic Period Care Brand

All of their veggies are sustainably grown in a hyperlocal vertical hydroponic farm right here in KL. They can then be directly delivered to your doorstep for the ultimate freshness and yumminess.
Scared What! - Uniquely Malaysian Streetwear
Scared What! is a local streetwear brand that sports designs that are unapologetically Malaysian. Playing with local Chinese slang and pop culture, it's the kind of style that shouts "if you know, you know".
What's special about them is that every design they make is uniquely numbered and limited to 50 units only. So get them fast if you love their style!
Summer Olive - Handcrafted Clay Accessories
These. Are. Adorable! We absolutely fell in love with Summer Olive's intricately crafted accessories, and we're sure you will too. Every piece is handcrafted and painted by founders Yvone & Mattia with quality polymer clay.
You can get their cute little designs in the form of earrings, studs and even necklaces. Our favourites are their Pink Peony selection! Don't they look like they came straight out of a fairy tale? 😍
Boss Mama - Postpartum Essentials for Mums
Motherhood is tough - we're speaking from experience! But Boss Mama is making it easier for all us mamas out there!
Founded by two Malaysian Mothers, Shakira & Junita, who had trouble finding a good pumping bra that was functional and comfortable, while being discreet enough for pumping throughout the day.
So they came up with the Real-Support Bra, a game-changing pumping bra. They have since gone to release modernised Bengkungs as well!
Skyn Sin - Soy Candles & Sheet Masks
Need a day of self-pampering? Skyn Sin can provide you with everything you need from a sheet mask tailored to your skin to the soothing aroma of a fragrant soy candle.
Skyn Sin hand pours each candle themselves using 100% soy wax and wooden wicks. They also provide a huge variety of imported Korean sheet masks, it's like shopping right out of Korea!
Nyonya Kain - Malaysian Batik Fashion & Accessories
Here's another one for you Batik lovers! The "Kain Lady", Dayana has all the best Batik fashion pieces you could think of. She uses Batik designs from across Malaysia and cuts them up into unique fashion statements.
