I love handmade products. I find it inspiring and wonderful that there are so many creative people out there. When we buy handmade, repurposed or recycled items, we are not only doing Mother Earth some good. We are actually helping to support the artisans 🙂 We were on our way to the hotel carpark in Malacca recently when I something colourful caught my eyes. I saw a shop near Jonker Street displaying many colourful and cute t-shirts with batik skirts/pants. Right after lunch, we walked over to check it out.
This is Umyang, a custom-paint batik shop on Jalan Hang Kasturi.
This shop is run by a Korean woman and her Malaysian husband. Everything is hand-painted in this shop. Besides using the traditional art form of batik painting to hand-paint tops and bottoms, they also use other painting and dyeing techniques to create funky and delightful designs. When I told the lady that I am looking for a t-shirt for Ashley, she brought out this :-
The lady said when she saw Ashley, she immediately thought of this t-shirt design 🙂
This is the back.
I was planning on getting a more colourful design for her like one with elephants or giraffes but the missy said she likes this. It’s rm38. Handmade/hand-painted products are slightly more expensive than normal ones. I think I will get her a pair of batik shorts or a batik skirt from Umyang next time. When you are in Malacca, do drop by Umyang if you adore hand-painted clothing.
Very nice design printed on the T shirt. The T Shirt is cute.
RM38 is quite expensive… But usually handmade product is like that…
I like the t shirt, very unique!

umyang baitk is a quaint little shop with enlightening and amusing hand-painted/tie-dye apparels. some designs only appear on children’s apparels but they are so cute even an adult like me feel like owning one. i bought a RM60 painted cum tie-dye t-shirt. will buy tie-dye skirts in the futre. nowadays it’s hard to find good quality hand-painted appreals and these are too good to be missed. recommended to those who love art
Yes Umyang’s hand-painted apparels are beautiful and unique. A must-visit shop when in Malacca 🙂
