the Factory Outlets


The concept of 'factory outlet shopping', which started gaining its popularity in the late 1990s, has established Bandung as Indonesia's shopping Mecca. Factory outlets were originally 'garment factories' that sold over-runs of, and substandard, export quality materials at very low prices.Top left is rumah Mode, which is arguably the most complete in the city is located on Jl. Setia Budi. It also satisfies every shopper's craving for luxury clothing, formal ware, fashion ware, and casual ware. There is also a snack corner and a coffee shop on the premises. But it is also the most expensive. I would go for Real Factory Outlet Shop at Jln Juanda and The Gazeebo just behind it (picture top right). The cheapest so far where Burberry jeans go for Rph 50k. Another shop is DSE - Dago Stock Export (middle pic and bottom pic) has reasonable price too. The Summit and Heritage while the shop is nice and exclusive, it is reflected in the price too.
