Kuala Lumpur

Ladies and gents, are there any recommended shops for pens and paper in KL? I may be visiting soon and want to have a look. Bangkok always had nice selections in that one mall I can't remember name of but KL is a mystery to me.

There is an older small shop in Singapore that sells pens from the 80’s and 90’s. They are NOS.

Do you have more info on that one?

PenGallery, perhaps? https://www.pengallery.com.my

 

It's a retailer I've dealt with several times from afar. We didn't go there when we were in Kuala Lumpur in 2025, but I ordered something from the shop online and had it delivered to our hotel.

Pen Gallery is a nice pen shop with a wide collection of new pens. The attendants are knowledgeable about fountain pens and very helpful. I have been there several times and only have positive words about those visits.

Guys, I have visited the shop in person. Got myself some inks. I have to admit they have huge offer, never saw such pen shop before. Their stock is high on pens as well as inks. They will ink any pen from their offer and let you try it. So I tried 149, Pilot 743 Signature nib and that up curved one. They also stock all sorts of additional nibs, converters, even Rotring pens. Surprisingly, most of the paper they have is their own brand. I was expecting they would have popular papers. I was looking at 743s and realized that prices are very close to european. I was expecting it to be more on the japanese pricing side (definitely makes more sense to pull Pilot on Ebay). Overall great shop and helpful staff.
