In Reply to: Does Aristo have ... posted by balibarbie on Sunday, 1. May 2005 at 08:09 Bali Time:
a good range of different materials or fabric available but I feel that if you want something specific it is always best to check beforehand.He likes to use good quality fabrics.If his customers have certain requests he will offer to either get the fabric himself or suggest they may like to go & look at Denpasar themselves.
I have mainly had After 5 & more formal clothes made by him.I have never had any pants or ladies suits made by him but Kermy has & she was very happy.I think for a 3 piece ladies suit she paid $65 for jacket,skirt & trousers.Her posts are in the archives.
You can always send him an email & ask him questions yourself.
His email addy is ariskuwa@yahoo.com.au
Please keep in mind that he is like many Balinese who can speak very good English but do not have a perfect command of the written language.he will understand what you mean & reply promptly.
If you do go to Denpasar to look at material make sure you look in lots of shops because the range is stunning & very well priced.You can also bargain a bit.If you get out of your transport by the markets watch out for the ladies that try to latch onto you.I felt they were a bit of a pain so I avoided the material shops across from the market & walked straight down to the next street.
The only reason I went to Denpasar was to get a certain colour lace that I couldn't find locally at home & I paid absolute peanuts for it !
If you do go & see Aristo give him our regards.
