A relatively very new brand, Tempatan Clothing has been around in our local clothing scene for only 10 weeks. This brand was started by Joshua Ismail Fitton as a passion project. It’s goal was to instill nostalgia and to educate us Malaysians on our own history. It is important to know our own history, as it is what makes us who we are today.
“People these days don’t go to museums, so I thought it would be amazing if people walked around with a piece of history and art, something like a museum, on their tshirts” – Joshua elaborated the logic behind starting Tempatan Clothing.
Currently there are only 5 designs produced by them, which is pretty a lot considering the brand has only been around for only 10 weeks. Each design has a unique story and meaning to it, and every t-shirt comes with a tag that explains the background and history of the artwork.
So if any of you were slacking off in your history classes back in high-school, we think you should make it a point to get some tees to do some catching up.
