Being the older one of the two Bangsar Village malls, Bangsar Village I is a neighbourhood shopping precinct housing mostly food outlets and chic grocery shops while its more glamorous sibling specialises in delectable clothing boutiques and fashionable cafes.
The place is intimate and personal, with its retail space measuring just 110,000 sq ft . Its main clientele consists of ladies who lunch on weekdays and ladies who lunch, with their families , at weekends. The mall’s anchor tenant is the deceivingly named Village Grocer which stocks high quality and hard-to-find overseas food products for the upmarket community. Fashionistas will be delighted to know that BV1 has the one and only Pearl Lowe-endorsed Peacocks London (a UK highstreet label) outlet in Malaysia.
Gymboree is a haven for parents and playland for kids. With sports, music and art classes for children from zero to five years of age, the curriculum is designed by child development experts to encourage creativity and confidence. Besides that, the mall also has baby changing rooms and feeding rooms. Travelators and ramps are also installed for easy pram access. Anucyia Victor
