The Kuala Lumpur shopping scene is a pretty comprehensive one and being in the Bukit Bintang area puts you right in the middle of Kuala Lumpur’s best shopping. Within its zip code you will find more than eight major malls, including Fahrenheit 88, Pavilion KL, Suria KLCC, Starhill Gallery, Lot 10, Sungei Wang Plaza, Berjaya Times Square and Low Yat Plaza.

For high end fashion, the Bukit Bintang and KLCC areas provide the most variety, with upmarket malls such as Pavilion KL and Suria KLCC home to many international brands such as Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Salvatore Ferragamo, and Prada. Meanwhile, shopping centres like Sungei Wang Plaza and Berjaya Times Square are great places to spend your ringgit on indie fashion finds. They also tend to be more budget friendly. We also love street markets, such as Petaling Street and handicraft emporium Central Market – the perfect places to get a real sense of the city’s local shopping scene.

There’s something for every taste and budget here: designer labels, local indie brands, and street markets with artsy finds and cheap reproductions – it all depends on what you are looking for when shopping in Kuala Lumpur.
