just across the river from Denpasar Market. A whole street full of fabric shops, good variety, good prices and you can bargain. Can't recall if they have what you're looking for, but we have bought some beautiful fabrics there at excellent prices.
Some people reckon that the touts and shopkeepers can give you a hard time, but don't allow your taxi driver, or anyone else, to be your "guide". Just do your own looking and checking, just as you would in Kuta and you'll be OK. We've always enjoyed shopping there. One delightful young Muslim woman sticks in my mind. We bought quite a bit of stuff from her, bargaining all the way. When I wanted her to go even lower, with a big smile on her face she gave me one of those little folding men's Muslim hats and let me know that was all the extra I was going to get. Nice things like that stick in your mind, don't they?
