Listed on this page are handicraft and novelty shops in Penang. Most of the shops selling handicrafts, novelties and curios in Penang are found in George Town, with a few in the Batu Ferringhi tourist belt. Look also at the list of Antique Shops in Penang.
If you are looking for handicrafts, Penang Road has the most shops followed by Chulia Street. You can also find a couple of handicraft outlets at Gurney Plaza.
Admittedly the bulk of handicrafts and novelties you will find in the shops in Penang are not made locally, but come from Thailand or Myanmar. Locally produced items are often rather basic in design, and is often limited to trinkets and batik items.
If you operate a shop selling handicrafts or operating any other form of business in Malaysia or Singapore, you may add your business to this directory for a one-time fee, making it easier for people to find you, when they are seeking products and services provided by your business.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
