10 Factory Outlets in Bandung to Visit

Factory Outlets in Bandung are the most popular places visited by the women 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.

 Factory Outlets in Bandung - Some of the selections

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.

Rumah Mode in Bandung

General tip - While you do get some branded clothes at the factory outlets around Bandung, please note that super brands like Versace,  Channel, Christian Dior and other names are most likely fakes. They are usually mixed in with the other brands to make them look like real rejects. I would 99% confirm hat these are in fact fake knock offs so don't bother. You have a better chance with brands like ZARA, DKNY, Nike, Adidas, Timberland, Mango or MNG here.
