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 Address:
Heritage Factory Outlet
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.
Heritage Factory Outlet Address:
Jalan Riau No. 63
Bandung, Indonesia
Telephone: 62 22 4220545
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.
Natural Factory Outlet Address:
Jalan Setiabudi No. 43
Bandung, Indonesia
Telephone:
Grande Fashion Gallery
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'
Grande Fashion Gallery Address;
Jalan Ir. H. Juanda.
Bandung, Indonesia
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.
Summit Factory Outlet Address:
Jalan L.L.R.E Martadinata No.61
Bandung, Indonesia
Telephone: 62 22 4260884
The Secret Factory Outlet
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.
The Secret Factory Outlet Address:
Jalan L.L.R.E Martadinata No.47
Bandung, Indonesia
Telephone: 62 22 4260818
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.
Victoria Factory Outlet Address:
Jalan Ir. H. Juanda No. 111
Bandung, Indonesia
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.
House of Donatella
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.
House of Donatello Address:
Jl. Dr. Setiabudhi No.45
Bandung, Indonesia
Telephone: 62 22 2501167
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.
For Men Factory Outlet Address:
Jalan L.L.R.E Martadinata No. 36
Bandung, Indonesia
Telephone: 62 22 4207888
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.

Don't forget that if you are visiting Singapore or Malaysia, you can also check out the Johor Premium Outlets (JPO) which opened in December 2011 and is the First Premium Outlets in Southeast Asia. The place is also the largest Factory Outlet Shopping in Malaysia too.
These place are a must-visit for all travelers and shoppers and is a big hit for the locals from around Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Brunei. I have seen foreigners around the shopping areas in Bandung so don't be surprised. Some even come here to buy their stock for their businesses back home. If you are a shopping kind of person, then you should visit the Factory Outlets in Bandung.

Mei, it's an absolutely great place to just check out. I believe every woman should at lease see Bandung once in their life.
David

Luray, You must check out Bandung, the family will love the shopping there.
David
Wow, thanks for the list.
What would be your top 3 recommendations tho?
Hello Steven, thanks for your comment. For my personal top 3, Rumah Mode is of course No.1, Grande Fashion #2 and Victoria #3. This is of course for the selection of stuff for the Men.
For women, it would be different. Well, so many choices... it can get really confusing. I seriously wonder how they manage it :)
David
From your blog, I can see that you are a very content man. I hope you can make friends with me generously. I think a good pair of shoes as my faithful friend, so I always find the most suitable and favorite shoes, if you agree with my view, you can look at my site.

Hello Yeezy, thank you for the kind words. I always believe in a good pair of shoes when traveling and yes, I use Nike!
David
Wow, very useful info. plan to get there somewhere in october....
do they receive credit cards....??? wow..3 days enough 2 visit all main outlets..?? coz go with friends, of course they buy for famalies should spend much time in 1 outlet....
Hello Anon, yes mos of the outlets accept all major Credit Cards in Bandung.
3 Days should be enough, unless you are the type of shopper that can spend 4 hours in each outlet, then you better book 4N/5D.
David

Hi David,
Those information are definitely useful. I have been to Bandung a couple of times, but never managed to complete the shopping spree!! Drove past some of the names of FOs you have listed, planned to visit them on the way home, but never did... With the listings you posted, I made sure I'll complete them the next time round. Many thanks David. And for the Men FO, that will be a safe bet to satisfy the boys...
Sue
FOs are open throughout the holidays unless it is a special one which I am unaware off.
Prices vary from RM10-RM40 for Men's Tees depending on the brand.
Sue, glad this list helps and I think it is time for me to make another trip to update any new info there.
Regards,
David
is it safety travel in Bandung due to Volcanic Ash on December 2010...??
can visit Mt Tangkuban Perahu now or other active Volcanic..?
Hey Anon, I think it's pretty safe because only Bormo an Merapi are the active volcanoes and they are located away from Bandung.
David
Hi - Thanks for writing about Bandung. Can you help with some info? YOu mentioned to be careful about fakes for superbrands. What about the Hugo Boss, Armani, Cerutti, Burberry brands? Is it safe to buy from there? Am trying to get an idea if there is at least a reasonable selection of these brands in Bandung? If yes, how much do they cost?You had mentioned ForMen outlet? What kind of stuff do they sell? Thank you very much.
Straits, to be honest, all the top brands are usually knock offs. Unless you are lucky and see some authentic ones with labels cut off, I wouldn't trust any. Even the Burberry doesn't look 100%.
For Men Outlet sells mainly office attire which most of the brands I have never heard of, but some of them look really nice and good quality. They also have casual attire there.
Best is when you go there, just double check the items you are buying if they are branded ones.
David
Thanks David
Thanks for the list. There's a lot to do in bandung, apart from shopping. There are a few places for kids and great restaurants to dine at.
You're Welcome Straits and Thanks Anon - I hope you have a wonderful time there in Bandung with the Factory Outlets and Kids Fun!

i juz wan to ask about the garment from these factory outlet, is it original or fake
Most of the top brands are fake. The medium level brands are original.
My frens & I (10person) just came back from Bandung 3weeks ago. Wow, we really shopped till we dropped! since it was our 1st visit, we were a bit 'lost' & time (3D2N) was also not sufficient for us to really cover everything.
We r planning to go again. Just wondering whether u hv any idea when is their Mega Sales period? like in M'sia we r having it now....
tks
Just want to inform, Bandung Great Sale is usually held every december as a year end sale. But, before making any plan to visit and book ur airplane ticket, please check Bandung's official tourism web www.bandungtourism.com ;)

Hi All, Ive never been to Bandung , Those Factory outlet product are they genuine? If it so, why dont those brands did not take any action or protect their products . or those product are with minor defects or an A class imitation .
Anon - 80% of the items sold here are usually overrun items. I won't get into details as how Factory Outlets in Bandung market their items are their own ways. I have heard that some brands literally put 'A Quality' items for sale in these outlets. But for Top Branded items like LV, they are fakes for sure.
are all the factory outlets listed above situated along the same road/adjacent roads nearby??wonder if i can visit them all in one shoot..
thanks!
mabel
Mabel - Some of them are pretty much in the same road. There are 3 main areas where each of them has about 10 outlets. But you need a supir to take you to each of the three as they are not walking distance.
Hi, i hope you can he\lp me. What is the price range at the factory outlets? Thanks
nice BLOG :) :)
Hi David, Mikael here.. thanks for all the info.. im planning to bandung this coming May.. asking, where can i find cheap price of mens' clothes and accessories...?? either in For Men Factory Outlet, RUmah Mode, Grande or Victoria as u mentioned above...? thanks David...!!
Mikael - ForMen outlet is one of the better places. But if you really must find super cheap, Cihampelas would most likely be the area. But seriously, I would try Jalan Riau/Dago area.
Anon - Price range is around RM20-RM50, but depending on what you are looking for.
CAN U KINDLY TELL ME THE BUSINESS HOUR FOR THE FOs?
Business hours for the Factory Outlets in Bandung are 10am-10pm. Some of them close at about 9.30pm.
nice blog...i hope i can some little time to shopping cause i will attend the wedding in bandung...
the FO rumah mode is good for shop, but the grande is only so so, nothing special if compare with rumah mode. the selection in rumah mode is a lot, and must be wait for try the clothes even weekdays

Hi David...It was brilliant info & pictures. Besides garment i heard that international cosmetic brands are available too, like MAC Cosmetic. Is it true? Are they the original one?
Ive seen some cosmetics but I cannot confirm it for now.
That's really a great overview of the most popular Fashion Outlet Shops in Bandung. From my experience Rumah Mode is one the best. On weekends many tourists from Jakarta and Malaysia visit this Fashion Outlet and therefore it is really crowded. But it is worth a visit, because they have a huge collection of the latest fashion. Especially branded fashion is very affordable there.
Thanks F.Online. I presume that Rumah Mode in Bandung is still popular as always?
Salam, kalau dtg lg leh la sewa kereta dgn sy:) InsyaAllah..
Ni lebih kurang macam ni : (Centre kereta di Bandung)
DALAM KOTA = Rp350 000(supir+ mobil) Kalau plus minyak+parkir (Letak je la dulu dalam Rp30k parkir, minyak = Rp 70k). Tempat2 seperti FO dago, Riau, Pasar baru. Jadi total ALL IN kereta Rp450-500k (RM161-179) UNTUK tempoh 15 jam. Dikasi extra 2 jam.
Tangkuban perahu lain sket sebab jauh makan minyak lebih = Rp 350 000 (supir+ mobil) Kalau plus minyak+parkir (Letak je la dulu dalam Rp30k parkir, minyak = Rp 100k). Jadi total ALL IN kereta Rp500-550k (RM179-196) UNTUK tempoh 15 jam. Dikasi extra 2 jam.
LUAR KOTA(Jakarta/bogor/puncak/kawah putih) = Rp 400 000 (supir+ mobil) Kalau plus minyak+parkir (Letak je la dulu dalam Rp50k parkir, minyak = Rp 150k, Toll = Rp120k). Jadi total ALL IN kereta Rp700-750k (RM250-268) UNTUK tempoh 15 jam. Dikasi extra 2 jam.
EXTRA 1 JAM = RM10
