In Reply to: Best sarongs seller in BALI? posted by anthony on Friday, 22. April 2005 at 07:49 Bali Time:
So, you'll be in Bali en Juin. That's a good start. Then, you'll learn that you don't buy sarongs in shops in Kuta or any tourist places, no matter how good the prices seem to you at first glance. You will go to where the material is made. You buy from the manufacturer of the material to make the sarongs and then, most likely, he/she will also make the sarongs. Since there are many qualities of material, from very cheap, Java-made machine-printed material, to exquisit hand-weaved ikats, you will most likely have several suppliers. It all depends what kind of market you are aiming at in Paris.
