One of the many bonuses of living in Bali is the cheap gear you can pick up. Walking along Jl. Legian, Jl. Pantai Kuta and many other streets you will notice shops with signs that say Polo, Versace and other famous brands. These places are all fake and the stuff they stock is pretty much the same, supplied by the same people. Generally I find the shirts on sale to be of low quality so I don't buy them. I do however buy the jeans, which come with their very own fake label. Today on Jl. Legian I shopped around for jeans that fit me. My waist is 34 inches and I have always have a problem in the UK and US finding pairs that fit in both directions. Here in Bali they are onto it.
Once I found a pair of jeans that were comfortable, the cute young attendant measured the legs and pinned them. One hour later they were cut and sowed for an extra 10,000rp. My new jeans cost 299,000rp and fit great. Prices are non negotiable and I checked the prices on Kuta Square, which were the same.

i went into the gallaria in bali when i was there and i went into a shop called trend-in. they had some of the nicest and cheapest clothes i have ever seen in my life. they had diesel jeans for 50,000rp.
im interested to know whats the deal with the designer shops there. are they copies or real? the stuff looks genuine.
Are you talking about Istana Kuta Galleria? or the one in Nusa Dua?
