known handicraft and souvenir centre, is a subsidiary of Perbadanan
Kemajuan Kraftangan Malaysia, a government agency, entrusted to
market Malaysian handicraft and souvenir items produced by Malaysia's
own craftsmen and small industries. Established in 1982, this
one-stop shopping centre has shifted to a new location at Kompleks
Kraf Kuala Lumpur (KKKL), Jalan Conlay, about 500 metres away
from its former place. For 15 beautiful years, KARYANEKA's main
showroom at Jalan Raja Chulan had created a pleasant experience
in the memory of many foreign visitors as an adorable handicrafts
village. Being just a mere 10 minute walk from the Golden Triangle,
where luxurious hotels and shopping malls are located, it promises
a one-stop craft shopping experience to every visitors.
