A Fashion 
Time Capsule Awaits

A clutch from the 1930s, carried to a party the world has long since forgotten. The silhouettes that defined the 1960s, the minimalist design of the 1990s. Discover how each piece was made, who carried it, and why it still matters.

An hour here is a conversation with fashion history, not a walk past glass.

Penang's Most
Enchanting Event Venue

For your special occasion, The Private Collection belongs to your guests.


Welcome drinks are poured, an artisan grazing table is laid, and the private indoor garden opens — a pocket of quiet in the heart of George Town. Around you, 350 vintage masterpieces, each carrying a story someone will ask about.


Ten guests. One heritage house. An occasion they will still be describing a year from now.

An incredible collection of bags with lots of explanation. I would like to go back there to understand how to maintain luxury bags. What a rich history that I had not seen before!

Meet Us in Penang

A few minutes from the Eastern & Oriental, a few streets from the murals of Armenian Street. Step into 87 years of fashion history at Three Lebuh Klang, and George Town goes quiet.

Only a few visitors at a time. Take your time to look closely, to ask questions, and to hear the story that belongs to each piece.

Come in curious. Leave inspired.
