Pasar Karat KL: The Hidden Treasure Trove of Kuala Lumpur

Tucked in the heart of Kuala Lumpur’s Chinatown, Pasar Karat (also known as the KL Flea Market) is not your typical shopping destination. It’s a place where nostalgia, culture, and curiosity collide a market filled with old-school charm, vintage treasures, and rare finds you won’t see in regular malls.

The term “karat” means “rusty” in Malay, hinting at the age and vintage vibe of the items sold here. But don’t be fooled  what some call junk, others consider gold. From antique cameras, old coins, retro radios, vinyl records, to pre-loved clothes, tools, toys, and even unusual collectibles, Pasar Karat is a paradise for vintage lovers and curious wanderers.
