Green x Handmade Pop-Up Market At KooKee Ipoh Old Town
By: Nur Nabilah
Something beautiful is blooming in the heart of Ipoh Old Town on the 19th-20th of April from 9.30 AM-4.30 PM at KooKee Ipoh Old Town.
Organized by AM Zakka Store, the Green x Handmade Pop-Up Market isn’t your typical market. It’s a celebration of creativity, sustainability, and soulful second chances.
From preloved treasures that carry stories of the past to upcycled crafts stitched with purpose, every corner of the market invites you to slow down, look closer, and shop with heart.
Best of all, prices are kept affordable, making it easy for both locals and tourists to take home something meaningful be it a unique keepsake or a spark of inspiration.
And as Earth Day approaches, the organizer hopes to inspire everyone, tourists and locals alike to embrace a more sustainable lifestyle through the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
Located in Ipoh Old Town, Koo Kee is more than a venue, it’s an experience. Step into a space that has a vibe from the past, present, and future all at once.
A weekend market where visitors can discover locally made crafts and artworks by independent artisans, a time tunnel where a nostalgic mini museum brings back memories of the good old days and Koo Kee Wood Art Space, a charming wood art space showcasing beautiful handcrafted wooden pieces. Make sure to visit them!
AM Zakka store would like to heartily thank Mr. Marc, the kind soul behind Koo Kee, for generously hosting the pop-up. With this first step, they dream of making this a monthly celebration of handmade love.
Each vendor brings a story, a passion, and a purpose. Make sure to visit their booth!
