INACRAFT 2009 - INDONESIAN CRAFT

The 11th Jakarta International Handicraft Trade Fair
22-26 April 2009

So I finally got a chance to go to INACRAFT, It was on a Thursday, April 23rd 2009, office hour even, and it turned out to be jam packed with people.

So.... I spend quite a long time "wandering" around inside. They have Batik cloth, Accesorries, Bags, Furnitures, Home-Decor stuff, Pottery, and lots more....

It was really crowded inside, people are looking and stopping all over the place, so we were kinda stuck in a fun sight-seeing traffic jam :)

There are some shops that I like ....


Temple Trees
www.templetrees.net
They have cute stuff, especially the bags, it's like a combination of wicker and patchwork. Price is kinda um um :)
Say, a little coin purse made out of patchworky cloth cost around Rp. 60-90k, but it was cute awrite.

BECCA
www.becca-online.net
Becca sells bags, and seriously, they have the cutest bags, they're so colorful and carefully handmade.........aaaaaaa me likey likeyyy....
They're made out of canvases, some are combined with leather or suede, and ornamented with patchwork and beads.
Just wanna say that the things that you see on their website are way better looking in real life.
The price ? well, the bag that I was interested in was a bit over Rp.1 million ... hohoho
Am I buying it ? still deciding ....
But Becca does custome made, so you can modif the bags to your liking.

Dowa Bag
www.dowabag.com
Dowa also has a crowded counter, they sell bags made out of nylon crochet. Located in Yogyakarta, they in fact have exported their bags abroad.
Bag design is more casual, for daily use.
The small ones cost around Rp. 175k and one of the bigger one cost Rp.500k

Yup... I am looking for bags :)
