The best way to experience a country is to explore it with all your senses. For travellers passing through the country’s airports, it means indulging in fashion, craft, delicacies and beauty items produced by home-grown enterprises.
Himpun at KL International Airport (KLIA) gathers a curated selection of items that wrap up cultural perspectives of the country. The campaign, from Sept 18 to Oct 13, serves as a curtain-raiser for the “Sense of Malaysia” concept store scheduled to open at all international airports in the country in May 2020.
For a teaser of what is to come, check out Bartek by DCM, a Kuching-based brand that combines batik and boxer shorts. Also from Sarawak is an array of indigenous rice marketed under Kenyalang.
