My friend introduced me to Jonathan Yun years ago when I first visited Penang and I have been a fan since then. I still have the pieces I bought back then. For good quality and unique jewellery, Jonathan Yun is the one to go to in Penang. I always recommend everyone (friends and strangers) to visit him when in Penang. Every time I wear his pieces, I get people admiring them and good comments. Some people have commented that his pieces are not cheap. But if you are looking for something that is of good quality, reasonable value and exquisite, it is worth every cent. I would not say that he is expensive and not affordable. In fact his pieces are priced reasonably. Even if you have no intent to buy, just go and enjoy beautiful creations.

Home decor, lifestyle and gift store located in a 1930's eclectic style shop house. Home to quirky, fun, beautiful and exclusive items! One of a kind in Malaysia and definitely worth the visit. Open daily!
Reviewed By PJfromKL - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
This is a must-visit shop every time we visit Penang. It has arty, tasteful items you don’t find in most shops. It makes me happy, because it makes my wife so happy. If you’re looking for interesting things to decorate your home, or quality gifts to take back for loved ones it is packed to the rafters with great ideas. The staff are patient, knowledgeable and helpful. They will search stockrooms for colour variations of items to suit your taste, or expertly wrap items you are planning to take as gifts. Their Christmas ornament selection is quirky and original. The pricing is not cheap, but the quality makes for good value.

We visited the shop today and we're very impressed with the products on offer - a wide range of beautiful batik clothes, art and things like bags and accessories. Roxana was very friendly and informative without being at all pushy. There are classes available which we'd definitely like to do at some point - maybe on our next trip if we don't have time during this visit to Penang.

I needed a tuxedo tailor-made last minute before a trip overseas and only had a 3-day turnaround. DeePee Tailor was not only accommodating and flexible to my needs but they also did not compromise on quality. They were very professional and friendly people to deal with throughout my interaction and transaction with them. I will definitely recommend them!

I just happened to walk by when their designs caught my eye. I didn’t intend to get anything but a few minutes perusing the racks showed me how interesting and varied their designs are. I had excellent service from the staff. Price is reasonable and the clothes are good quality. There is a wide assortment from Kurta and Kurtis, to dresses and intricately brocaded and embroidered work. I will be returning for more items soon

The staff were vary attentive, have a great selection of fabrics in stock and are also willing to get material in for you. It will take a few days extra, so go there at the start of your stay. A suit will normally take around 4 days. They will ask you to come back for a fitting and then a day or 2 later to pick up the finished product. The guys are really friendly, can speak pretty good English and great attention to detail. Prices are not the cheapest, but certainly not the dearest, but definitely great value for money when you consider each suit is custom tailored to you. Could not recommend them highly enough!!
