Shopping in Bandung

  1. A

    Jeans Street

    Advertising is one thing, but a 20ft-high plaster statue of Rambo? Bandung's celebrated 'Jeans' Street, Jl Cihampelas, is the place where seeing is believing. Traditionally the home of the city's thriving textile industry, this congested drag, in the affluent northern suburbs of Bandung, is now a menagerie of kitsch plaster giants, looming over shops competing with one another for the top spot in the city's booming denim trade.

    The jeans are definitely cheap; just don't expect to look like a Dean or a Monroe when you slip them on.
