Description
On the lively streets of George Town, Penang, art and real life roll side by side. Our Penang, Malaysia Backpack is inspired by the storytelling street art of Ernest Zacharevic, whose murals capture the heart and humour of everyday Malaysian life.
On our own visit to Penang, we were lucky enough to meet the real “Trishaw Man” himself—still pedalling through the streets with a smile, just as he appears in Zacharevic’s famous mural. That moment inspired our design team to create an original artwork that celebrates Penang’s warmth, colour, and community. Look closely and you’ll find our Geo perched on the trishaw seat, ready to join the ride through Malaysia’s story-filled streets.
