Center Place of weave and batik
July 28, 2009 – 5:42 pmLikely, woven and batik popularity has known in Indonesia even over the world. Beside the quality was good, the price also competitive.
Passed journey 2 hour from Tegal, coming to “batik town” Pekalongan. Inside quite lot center wholesaler. One of them I have visited is “Shopping Center Setono Tour” the most crowded visitor according issue. Although dominate by cloth, the shop was build since 1997, you can found goods household equipment like sarong, pillow, chair, gorden, tablecloth, dining table. A lot of products were completed with border accessories. These soft furnishing goods a lot of made by ATBM (alat tenun bukan mesin), batik (written or cast), or blacu. Setono easy reach by visitor due to position just 1 KM from external station bus.
Quite comfort shopping in Setono. Clean place, shops neat, and the way not too tight. Commonly sellers give special price for large purchasing. Beside Setono, there is Mega Grosir MM (exactly crossing Setono), Shopping Center Medono Tour, and Whosale center Batik-Woven textile Gamer. Almost all shop’s owner accepts custom build order. Order also can be done by phone by term of payment done in advance. Delivery cost has to be paid by buyer. But quite economic, 1 bale just 20.000 IDR. For 100 pieces can finish 10 days. For batik written, it need 3 weeks fastest. Ordinary day, shops in shopping center usually open at 09.00 – 7.00. Enough interest, shops in this shopping center even crowd when celebration holiday. Because those shops have opened in second holiday, even time work longer until 21.00 a clock. Do you want shop when celebrating holiday later? certainly enjoyable.
