EXCLUSIVE STORES TO EXPLORE

Exciting new retail stores are set to make their debut at Sunway Pyramid, giving shoppers even more reasons to explore the mall during Chinese New Year.

POP MART introduces its first The Monsters (Labubu) theme store in Malaysia, now the brand’s largest local outpost at over 4,800 square feet that brings Labubu’s whimsical world to life. Fans can expect exclusive limited-edition releases and a range of collectible IP items, making it a must-visit destination for trendsetters and collectors alike.

From Thailand, Gentlewoman is finally opening its doors in Malaysia starting 24 January 2026, housing versatile pieces that blend contemporary designs with everyday wearability. Meanwhile, Miniso Land brings a playful twist to retail with a concept inspired by its Shanghai store, featuring interactive installations and a central playground designed for both kids and families to enjoy.

 

PUMA SUNWAY FLAGSHIP STORE

Step into Southeast Asia’s largest PUMA flagship store, where sports, fashion, and hints of local culture come together across a 12,000-square-foot space. Browse an extensive range of products, from high-performance sports gear to stylish streetwear, alongside exclusive collaborations. For a personalised shopping experience, innovative in-store tools like an AI feet scanner help recommend sneakers that suit your size and fit, while a dedicated customisation area lets you make each item uniquely your own with embroidery, heat-press designs, iron-on patches, or enamel pins. Beyond retail, the store also hosts running clubs, training sessions, and community events that bring together fans of sport and fashion alike.

 

CAUDALIE SPA

If your skin is in need of some pampering before visiting family and friends, Caudalie SPA promises an indulgent Vinotherapy experience not to be missed. As Southeast Asia’s first boutique spa of its kind, guests are whisked away to the vineyards of Bordeaux, right in the heart of the mall. Warm natural materials, soft lighting, and minimalist design create a serene, inviting atmosphere where treatments are carefully crafted to soothe the body and awaken the senses. With eco-conscious products and wellness-focused rituals, the spa offers a tranquil escape from the festive bustle, making it the ideal spot to relax, recharge, and treat yourself this season.

 

LA VIE EN ROSE

One of the oldest Chinese New Year traditions is welcoming the year with something new to wear, symbolising fresh beginnings and a chance to leave the old behind. With La Vie En Rose debuting its first store in Malaysia, shoppers can embrace this tradition with a curated collection of sleepwear, bras, lingerie, and nursing essentials tailored for everyday elegance. Each piece is crafted with real women in mind, balancing comfort and femininity, while trained consultants are on hand to provide a personalised bra-fit guidance. The brand also champions inclusivity, offering sizes up to 44E so every customer can discover pieces that celebrate her body at every stage of life.

 

CLEF BEAUTY

A new year often calls for a refreshed routine, and CLEF Beauty’s largest store in Malaysia has everything you need to start off on the right note. This locally founded brand is both conscious and considered, offering a thoughtfully curated range of clean, vegan, and cruelty-free essentials for the face and body. 

Standout picks include the Pomegranate Instant Calming Mask for sensitive skin, the Tea Core Green Tea & Orange Lotion for lightweight hydration, and the Oolong Tea & Rose Bath Gel for a soothing cleanse. For daily sun protection, the Skin Perfecting Tinted Physical Sunscreen doubles as a natural base, keeping your skin prepped for your festive makeup look. The spacious store invites shoppers to explore with ease—making it an ideal stop for both gifting and self-care this Chinese New Year.

 

‘GALLOPING INTO PROSPERITY’ AT SUNWAY PYRAMID

Taking centre stage this Chinese New Year at Sunway Pyramid is Galloping Into Prosperity, a festive programme that celebrates reunion, optimism, and the promise of abundance in the year ahead. Running from 9 January to 25 February 2026 at the LG2 Orange Concourse, the space is anchored by a striking centrepiece—a golden horse poised atop a rotating lantern, symbolising good fortune and forward momentum. 

Designed with a contemporary pop art approach, the installation comes alive through bold colours, dynamic geometric forms, and expressive horse motifs created in collaboration with Sunway University, reflecting hope and positivity for the season.

Complementing the visual spectacle are a series of thoughtfully curated Chinese New Year bazaars, making festive shopping easy and enjoyable. From the CNY Reunion Bazaar and Jaya Grocer CNY Fair to Blessing Garden, The Prosperity Market, and the Lancôme New Year Pop-Up, everything you need for last-minute preparations is conveniently gathered in one vibrant hub.

Adding a social spin to the celebrations, Sunway Pyramid has teamed up with The Kuans to create an interactive journey through curated mall checkpoints.
