Dear Fashionese,

I am an avid reader of your blog. The question I’d like to ask you is regarding Bandung, since you are Indonesian.

I’d like to know about:
• recommended factory outlets and brands they sell
• whether there are authentic designer bags sold in Bandung (LV,Gucci,Coach,Chanel) and their pricing
• whether there are premium denim labels such as Rock and Republic,True Religion,Seven etc
• factory outlets that might sell make up? Such as Benefit, Stila etc

I hope you could assist me with my inquiries, if you don’t mind, that is.
Keep writing and I’d like to say thank you so much in advance. Have a great day!

Hi there,

As far as I know there’s no authentic designer bags in Bandung, unless the malls have Gucci/LV or other high-end brands. I’m sure there is one or two boutiques that cater designer bags, but I haven’t been to Bandung for a long time, so I’m not very familiar with the shopping scene either. There’s no coach store in Bandung, not even in Jakarta…the closest one is in Bali.. and sadly there’s no Chanel boutique in Indonesia either…only Singapore…and maybe KL?

I’m not sure about the factory outlets either..I’m planning to visit Bandung next week..but then it would be too late. Hey maybe now you can give me some recommendations…=)

Premium denim labels (the authentic ones) are sold in a few boutiques in Jakarta, maybe some high profile boutiques in Bandung have them, but they are pretty rare and pricing would be around Rp 1.5 million and up. The ones in the factory outlets are knockoffs, with the price ranging from Rp 150-Rp 250 ribu.

There’s no factory outlet that sells make up. Factory outlets only sell products that are made in Indonesia and are supposed to be sent overseas for exports. Brands like Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, Aeropostale, Abercrombie, DKNY and some others that have factory in Indonesia can be found in the outlets. I think they are oversupply or maybe the quality control is not that secured so a few items go to the wrong hand. Hope that helps.

    Im from BANDUNG, and i think Fashionese doesn’t have a clear view on the scene in Bandung,
    As you can see from his first sentences, he never comes here.

    Most big Factory Outlets also sell make up and Authentic designer bags you can find in BSM, Bandung super mall.

    Hope you can find what your searching for.

    If you look for Fashion in Indonesia, then Bandung is the place to be.

    Most local brands sponsor the media in Jakarta, TV, CInetron, movies etc..

    Have a closer look and adress more info from more sources.

    Hi Jani, seperti yang saya tulis di atas bahwa waktu saya menulis postingan ini, saya sudah lama sekali nggak pergi ke Bandung. Terakhir kesana sih saya nggak menemukan make up di factory outlets, memang sekarang udah ada yah? Di factory outlet mana aja tuh? Kasih tau doong…Trus make upnya merk apa aja?

    Untuk authentic designer bags sih jelas Bandung bukan tempatnya ya, itu sih di Jakarta aja. Di Bandung Super Mall memangnya ada brand apa aja Jani?

    Hi!

    I’m going to Bandung end of this month. I was wondering if there are any places there where I can get clothes/bags/shoes with no brands or labels?

    Thanks!
