Like most Asian countries, Indonesia is a shopper’s paradise. Cheap fabric, exquisite crafts and great deals make shopping here affordable and fun. Not to forget the fact that you get to use your bargaining prowess. Maybe that is why people return with their bags full of Sarongs and Masks from here.

Craft is a way of life in Indonesia. It is also, therefore, the best thing to bring back from the country. Masks are perhaps Indonesia’s most popular export, what with dozens of shapes, sizes and colour. Cotton fabric and garments come next. Paintings, utility and kitchen items made with soft wood and small souvenirs also make for a great bargain and are available throughout the country.

Cottons can be bought in the form of ready to wear garments like sarongs, shirts, T-shirts, scarves and skirts. Indigenous designs, international styles and Indonesian price make everything here not only desirable but also affordable.
