Browse sarongs, pareos, pearl jewellery, carvings and souvenirs. Compare materials, finish and origin with each seller; do not assume everything is made in Sabah.
Traditional woven fabrics from Sabah's indigenous communities such as Dusun, Kadazan, Bajau and Murut. Geometric patterns and flora motifs rich with cultural meaning.
Pearl jewellery comes in different forms. Ask about pearl type, treatment, setting materials and origin; appearance or price alone does not establish authenticity.
Hardwood carvings from local timber — animal figurines, traditional masks, shields and decorative pieces with ethnic Sabah motifs.
Baskets, bags, mats and small furniture handwoven from rattan and bamboo by village communities — lightweight and built to last.
Fridge magnets, postcards, T-shirts, keychains and more — simple souvenirs for family and friends back home.
Traditional outfits of Sabah's ethnic communities, batik wear and accessories such as beadwork that can be worn every day.
20 real photos of the Kota Kinabalu Handicraft Market — stall scenes, handicraft close-ups and the seafront views that accompany your visit to the city centre.
No entrance fee is charged for any visitor, Malaysian or international. You only pay for the goods you buy, vehicle parking and meals inside the market.
