Pronounced as Rummy Modi. This "mother" of all outlets of Bandung and a super popular place on weekends and holidays - be prepared for this. On a regular day, from the city center to the shop on a taxi can be reached in about 5 to 10 minutes. But on the weekend the road can take up to 20 or 30 minutes.

Therefore, it is best to visit this store on weekdays.

4. GRANDE FASHION GALLERY OUTLET
A popular shop and a great place to start shopping in Dago's shopping district. If the emphasis in the above departments makes more on women's clothing, then there are plenty of departments with men's clothing. Especially a lot of jeans.

8. Jeans Street or Cihampelas Street
On this famous Street you will see superheroes that "guard" some stores: Rambo, Iron Man, Superman and Terminator, Wonder Woman and Others. Looks funny and terribly cute. But these owners are trying to attract buyers to their trading points. Street with mad popular, but do not expect here from high quality goods. And prices are suitable low. Be sure to look at the Ciwalk Shopping Mall shopping center.
9. House of Donatello
When tourists first see this place, they suggest that this is Donatella Versace. This, of course, is not the case. This is just a local brand, which is mainly leather products. Shoes, wallets, purses, belts and bags - a good choice if you do not care that it is not a company clothing.

10. FOR MEN FACTORY OUTLET
The only outlet that is intended only for men. At least at the soup-popular Jalan Riau. Here you can find almost everything for men here, and prices are reasonable here. Great place to leave here your boyfriends and husbands, and go shopping in "Women's" outlets.

Chief Council for Shopaholikov: In these outlet, you will see that clothes, it seems like, frail. But note that super brands, such as Versace, Channel, Christian Dior and the most likely to be fakes. These fakes are usually mixed with other brands so that everything looks plausible. I would say that by 99% these things are actually fake, so do not be discouraged later. But things are much better with brands simpler, such as Zara, Old Navy, Gap, Mossimo, Soliver, Dorothy Perkins, H & M, Banana Republic, Mango, New York and Company, Ann Taylor.
In the sense that, most likely, these things will not be for fakes. At the same time, in a nearby store will hang fakes of the same brands. Mda too. In general, if you see a foreign price tag with foreign bobs, you can be sure that you are dealing with a real brand belt. But only because there is no such price tag on a dress, it does not mean that the thing is fake. I do not know, it is necessary to just touch the cloth, check the tag. In general, I am to the fact that in addition to fakes here, as a rule, there are quite decent specimens. The final test, of course, will be held in the locker room of the outlet. If the fabric is pleasant to the body, and the thing is good, besides, and the price is fair (and it is most likely), to whom what is the difference, what is the brand?
These tips can be given to those who are going to be purchased during a travel to Bandung.
