I consider he is very talented tailor & dressmaker we have both had many items of Men's & ladies clothing made from him & also recommended him to many family & friends who have been happy.He speaks good English & is very friendly.His rooms are comfortable & air conditioned & he has a proper curtain around the change room with a full length mirror.He will also come to your hotel.He is not the cheapest & not the dearest but you get 1st grade quality.My Mum was a tailoress in charge of a factory & my Mum in law a dress maker so I know how what to look for.
Prices guide - IE $100 mens 2 piece suits,$125 for suit with 2 trousers.full length ladies dresses around $40.He also does wonderful leather jackets - in a great range of colours ,my pretty green one cost $100 & has full lining,hidden pockets & good quality brass zipper.he also makes shoes & sandals.He will copy from a drawing,a picture you take,his own catalogues or any item of clothing you take to him.I have had outfits copied of exclusive designer clothes & his copies were better made than the originals !
He is down in Jalan Padma Utara ,Ruko No 6 ,Legian - it's on a corner opposite the Circle K - not far from the Fairy shop,it;s a good 5 minute walk North of the MBR & very close to the Bali Coconuts hotel.Don't be put off by the fancy looking shop,I was originally scared to go in because I thought it would be too expensive but he's not.I've done heaps of postings on him in the past so look in the archives for more info.His phone numbers are 0361 - 7453-145 or his mobile 0817- 475 -8159. His email is ariskuwa@yahoo.com.au
If you email him please keep in mind as with many Indonesians he speaks far better English than he writes.If you do contact him please give him my regards.
