New stores: Bazarro, Loaded Inc. & Unity at Maarof Junction, Bangsar

Comments (5) Fashion

Taking reign over a different part of Bangsar, are three new boutiques called Bazarro, Unity and Loaded Inc. It’s where Zinc used to be, if you’re familiar with the now defunct art gallery. Bazarro is of more interest to me cos it’s all girl’s stuff, whereas Unity and Loaded Inc. are men’s, but they’ve got some sick shades too, which you’ll see pictured later on.

Bazarro is a cooling space where i escaped the KL heat&haze from in relief. Decorated with dark wood, dim lighting, old armchairs and wooden crates; it slyly speaks to you as a hip chill place where the clothes and accessories are the focus. Described as a multi-label boutique where all good things come together, Bazarro handpicks fresh and inspiring labels in SEA for the ever-discerning shopper in KL.

Chiyo is a local brand that’s stocked in Australia. They also have shoes like the pair below. I heard they’re unsuspectingly comfy.

Stolen is a line designed by Elyn Wong, and is mostly available in Singapore. The brand’s signature style seems to be clean aesthetics, subtle asymmetry and bare backs. Lots of bare backs. I read on another blog that every single piece from Stolen promotes showing off your bare back. I like. I like very much indeed.

Check out Stolen’s latest lookbook shots here. They’re marvelous pictures to behold.

Veira bags from Singapore have vintage silhouettes infused with a contemporary touch. Their envelope clutches feel superb IRL. Red one on right is RM258.

Semi-precious stone accessories from By Invite Only, a Singapore-based jewelry line. I was sooo tempted to buy one but refrained. I’d just changed USD1000 for my Myanmar trip and was feeling poor. I’m a fan of their pieces tho, and think they’d make a great present for ANY girl who loves accessories.

Twigsie Twigs cuffs made from traditional material, RM35. Also saw their cool spectacle chains there but didn’t take a pic. More of their stuff on STYLLAR. I especially love their sequined turban!

Every girl needs a little bit o laser cut in their closet. Nimmue laser cut dress here is RM160.

Lots more stuff to see (and buy!). LIKE facebook.com/Bazarro.KL for more info.

At the same address, Loaded Inc. sits on the ground floor below Bazarro.

On their FB page:

“Conceived by a never ending lust for fashion & music, LOADED is the brainchild of XU (LapSap | Twilightaction Girl | Mini Compo) and his inner circle of like minded compadres. This band of motley crew is determine to set out and redefine what many considers as norm. They are going to break all the rules, this is LOADED. Hope y’all ready.

Grinding all day, everyday. Bitch.”

Ah Xu, I want glasses like these too.

OH MAN these big cherries fit my face perfectly!! Around RM700.


As for UNITY, which is next door to Loaded Inc., their FB page reads:

“SUBCREW was established in 2004 by Sam Lee, Frankie, Kobe. The name SUBCREW is a play of the words; SUBMARINE & CREW, representing the relentless struggles of a submarine crew that is holding their position in a time of turbulence, united and fighting for survival in the open sea.

In today’s fast paced and multi faced fashion industry, the brand does not conform under pressure but stands their g

round and maintains a sense individuality and originality. SUBCREW embodies the spirit of unity, which resonates well within the brand thus paving the way for UNITY, SUBCREW’s speciality store. This undying spirit to be on the forefront has grown the brand from strength to strength and in a span of a few short years. SUBCREW embodies the spirit of unity, which resonates well within the brand thus paving the way for UNITY, SUBCREW’s speciality store. SUBCREW via its speciality stores has expanded to Greater China, Taiwan, Macau and finally – Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
UNITY Store KL will be the first store in KL to stock and sell the entire range from SUBCREW. The store will also feature a special collaborative collection entitled SUBCREWMADE™ by Jahan.

The label MADE™ is new to the street fashion industry but Jahan is a familiar face (and voice) in the scene. The inaugural collection with Subcrew is titled WORKING CLASS HEROES. Much of the theme is dedicated to those who work under radar with their faces unseen, they whose work takes precedence and speaks for them. This label is made by, and made for all the unsung heroes of our postmodern capitalist Babylon.

UNITY IS POWER.”

    MYR28 for that Veira bag! Are they having a laugh?? It probably feels great, but it looks AWFUL. It doesn’t look vintage/contemporary to me. My 2 year old niece could probably come up with a sleeker shape. How can someone justify designing something like that and expect people to fork out that much money?? Fuck’s sake!

    This is fantastic. It is interesting to know there is such a place in KL. Thank you for sharing.

    Well, I can’t help but to notice Nadine’s comment. IMO I think the stuff featured looks awesome. I am not sure if you have any bad personal experience with the store but if you are looking for cheaper steals you can get them at majority of pasar malam stores
