Malaysia’s first women’s library will be launched with the opening of Aesop Women’s Library across three of its signature stores over the weekends of May 26-28 and June 2-4. This follows the successful launch of Aesop’s Singapore Women’s Library in South-East Asia earlier in April.

Over the course of three days, the shelves of Aesop Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Aesop The Gardens Mall in Kuala Lumpur and Aesop Gurney Plaza in Penang will be cleared of products and stocked entirely with books by Malaysian women-identifying authors and allies.
