SHOPPING NIRVANA<br />
Bandung houses the country’s<br />
biggest jeans and garment<br />
industry, with some international<br />
brands centralising their<br />
production here.<br />
Cihampelas Street is the city’s<br />
oldest centre of factory outlets,<br />
selling everything from jeans,<br />
shoes, T-shirts, accessories and<br />
other apparel.<br />
Many of Bandung’s factory<br />
outlets have gone upmarket.<br />
Locals tell us there are now as<br />
many as 50 outlets spread over<br />
the city. But note: the quality is<br />
variable. “Some of the sales items<br />
may be rejects, having fallen short<br />
of export quality, but there are so<br />
many of good quality,” says Andre,<br />
a local who comments that many<br />
visitors are fi nding these outlets in<br />
Bandung a great bargain.<br />
Rumah Mode seems to be the<br />
hottest factory outlet and sells a<br />
broad range of men’s and women’s<br />
clothes. Andre says those seeking<br />
to buy kids’ clothes should visit<br />
Victoria and “for handbags and<br />
shoes, you should go to Toko Diaz”.<br />
