There is also a shopping heavan can you go for shopping.Factory Outlets in Bandung are the most popular places visited by the women or man travelers and holiday makers who go there for their shopping frenzy. I personally went on one of the Bandung trips with five women, and it was more tiring that anything you can imagine. There are four main areas in Bandung for Factory Outlets which are Jalan Setiabudi, Jalan Riau, Dago District and Cihampelas Area. So, here is a list of the best factory outlets in Bandung to visit in no order.
1. Rumah Mode Factory Outlet - Pronounced as Rumah Mo-Day, this mother of all factory outlets gets super jammed up on weekends and holidays so be well prepared for this. On a normal day, the taxi would take about 5 to 10 minutes to get to Rumah Mode from your hotel in town. But on weekends, it can take up to 20 or 30 minutes. Also, once inside Rumah Mode which is the largest factory outlet in Bandung, be prepared for incredibly long lines just to try on the clothes. Seems like half of Jakarta are there shopping on weekends. The crowd is crazy on weekends so best to visit on weekdays.
2. Heritage Factory Outlet - One of the popular places with a good selection of clothes. The building looks like one of those old colonial heritage
buildings with Greek columns and has a cafe/restaurant as the side. Very popular place too.
3. Natural Factory Outlet - This outlet is just situated outside Rumah Mode with a decent collection of clothes. More like a first stop or last stop
after visiting Rumah Mode in Bandung.
4. Grande Fashion Gallery Outlet - A popular starting place when you reach the Dago shopping district.
They carry some men's clothes here too.
Burberry jeans are found here. If you are looking for XXXL Sizes, you need to ask the sales assistants where the 'Jumbo' sizes are.Asking for XL, they will look at you funny. The local lingo is 'Jumbo'
5. Summit Boutique Factory Outlet - Opposite the Heritage, this outlet carries some pretty decent bargains and is a favourite among some regular shoppers at Jalan Riau area.
6. The Secret Factory Outlet - A very popular place that has good brand names and even a kids section. Free WiFi available and a nice courtyard for you to relax at this Jalan Riau Factory Outlet. Well laid out and designed with a modern touch. Looks very nice in the evenings too.
7. Victoria Factory Outlet - A huge place that stretches quite far in so do not be fooled by the main entrance as it look small from outside. Great stuff to be found here including kids clothes.Easily spend a good 1-2 hours at this factory outlet in the Dago district.
8. Jeans Street or Cihampelas Shopping Street - It is here at the famous Cihampelas Street where you see the superheroes featured on top of each individual shop. From Rambo to Ironman, from Superman to The Terminator and from Wonder Woman to Ultraman, these gimmicks are used to attracts shoppers into their jeans and clothes outlets. Don't expect high quality stuff here but prices are really cheap.There is a CiWalk Shopping Mall in the area which is worth checking out.
9. House of Donatello - Don't get this place wrong as when I first saw it, I assumed it was House of Donatella, as in Donnatella Versace. This is a local brand selling mainly leather goods. Shoes, wallets, purses, belts and handbags have a good selection if you are not brand conscious. There are two outlets of this around Bandung too.
10. For Men Factory Outlet - The only factory outlet dedicated to men only. This was where I hung out when the ladies went shopping crazy around the Factory Outlets at Jalan Riau area. You can find almost everything for men here and prices are reasonably cheap. A great place to drop off boyfriends and husbands.
