1. Pestle & Mortar Clothing (PMC)

When three brothers sat down and thought about what to name their brand, they landed on something deeply Malaysian โ€” a pestle and mortar, the kind sitting in every grandma’s kitchen.

That’s the whole idea: take local ingredients and turn them into something strong and flavourful.

Founded in 2010 by brothers Arthur and Arnold Loh along with their friend Hugh Koh,

PMC has been telling stories through graphic-heavy, illustration-driven apparel that sparks nostalgia and pride in local heritage.

The brand’s aesthetic leans heavily into Southeast Asian identity and cultural storytelling, something you don’t see a lot of in the streetwear space.

They now have a flagship store at APW Bangsar, which doubles as a community hub with in-store exclusives like their Custom Lab.

TNTCO was established in 2013 in Malaysia, and it’s one of the biggest streetwear brand outhere in Malaysia.

Each piece is designed with a purpose, carrying messages that critique or comment on global phenomena, making every item a statement.

Their motto? “No House Rules.” Co-founder Deckson draws from a family legacy in apparel manufacturing and a love of vintage and ’90s fashion,

Which led to their popular upcycling programme that transforms deadstock materials into fresh, meaningful designs.

They now run 15 locations nationwide, with their Pandan Indah flagship store being the main spot.

Formed in 2015 in Kuala Lumpur, Against LAB represents the fusion of diverse backgrounds in retail, graffiti, and marketing, united by a passion for street culture and clothing.

Their mantra: All Endeavour, No Surrender โ€” isn’t just marketing copy. It’s baked into everything they do, from their first collection (The Eyes Are Watching) to their recent high-profile collab with Tokyo’s atmos sneaker boutique for a Year of the Dragon 2024 collection and a G-Shock model with Casio.

Their Pudu flagship is one of the most well-known streetwear destinations in KL.

The brand was founded by three graphic designers with a clear mission: use fashion to talk about equity, peace, and unity. It’s heavy with purpose, but the clothes themselves are clean, wearable, and quality-forward.

They use their signature Interlock Cotton fabric known for its smooth finish and resistance to shrinkage, which is a great choice for the Malaysian climate.

Collaborations with Staple Pigeon, Be@rbrick, New Era, and #FR2 have cemented Nerdunit as one of the most internationally connected local streetwear brands around.

They also run a sister label โ€” Water The Plant โ€” which swaps the darker, graphic-heavy aesthetic for cheerful smiley icons and bright colours. Two very different vibes, both unmistakably Malaysian.

The pieces lean into natural fabrics like linen and cotton, which is great for Malaysia’s humid. Their designs are mixed between Malay, Chinese, and Japanese influences.

If you’re drawn to the quieter, more minimal type of fashion, this is the brand that absolutely worth your time exploring!

In 2023, they made history by pulling off Malaysia’s largest standalone streetwear fashion show with 100 models.

Their brand is bold, unapologetic, and very intentionally loud, exactly what streetwear is supposed to feel like.

9. The Cap City

What started in 2013 as a multi-brand cap store in SS15 Subang Jaya has since evolved into a label that wears its local pride on its brim.

After years of selling international brands, they flipped the script and started making their own cap, designs like Harimau and Budak Subang are one of their iconic cap from the brand.

Their Payung Jumaat movement, where they gave out free umbrellas nationwide with the tagline ‘Jangan Cakap Abang Tak Payung‘, turned a simple giveaway into a cultural moment. That’s the kind of brand-building that money can’t buy.

10. High Cultured

Since 2008, High Cultured has been hustling to make streetwear that’s equal parts trendy, easy-to-find, and actually affordable.

The brand embraces the Japanese philosophy of shokunin, or craftsmanship with social purpose, meaning every piece is designed with care, consistency, and a sense of responsibility to the people wearing it.

With roots in local music culture and collabs with Malaysian artists, High Cultured has built a reputation as a brand that doesn’t just dress the scene , it moves with it.
