The Story Behind APOM: Celebrating Malaysia, One Design at a Time
Once upon a teh tarik session, a brilliant idea was born. Not a revolution, not a tech startup, not even a new national car! Instead, it was A Piece of Malaysia (APOM)—a brand dedicated to bottling up our quirks, our culture, and our humour into something you can wear, use, and share with the world.
What’s APOM ah?
At first glance, APOM may look like your average hipster T-shirt and souvenir brand. Dig a little deeper however, and you'll find that it IS Malaysia, distilled into wearable nostalgia. We take iconic local slang, our quirky humour, and national obsessions (like the eternal “Lah” and the ever-important “Lepak Culture”) and slap them onto tees, tote bags, mugs, and anything else that can hold ink.
Malaysia in Every Stitch
Our designs are more than just prints—they’re love letters to the land where food is a national obsession, double-parking is a pastime, and where we have public holidays like no tomorrow. Whether it’s a T-shirt reminding you that "Soar High" solves all motivational problems or a tote bag subtly hinting at your Milo ais addiction, we bring the daily joys (and frustrations) of being Malaysian into every product.
More Than Just Merch, It’s a Movement
At APOM, we take our job (of making you laugh and look good) seriously. But beyond the cheeky designs, we’re on a mission: to make Malaysians proud of being Malaysian. In a world of fast fashion and soulless souvenirs, we keep it real with homegrown designs made for Malaysians, by Malaysians—none of that generic “I ❤️ KL” nonsense. And please, no more slapping KLCC on a t-shirt and calling it a day.
From One Mamak Table to Many
We started with one shop and now we’re here—expanding across malls, online stores, and your Instagram feed faster than an “Eh, wanna makan here?” plan spreads in a WhatsApp group. Whether you’re a tourist looking for the perfect Malaysian keepsake or a local wanting to flex your national pride, we’ve got something for you.
So if you love Malaysia (or wearing Malaysia as a brand), welcome to the APOM family. We’re loud, proud, and forever saying “Lah.” Now, siapa nak beli?
