- Jakarta 25: Life-inspired Fashion Survival Kit
Ayayay. After handling plugins and conspiracy theories, all the mash-ups and the get-ups of a new world era, let’s return to the innermost private sanctum of our souls, let us …SHOP! Here are the list of buzzworthy hypeworthy moneyworthy catalogues from boutiques or shops found online ala Marisa Duma.
People buzzing behind these little worldly havens are Indonesians located in Jakarta and Bandung, Indonesia. Except for Lucudeh.com, those t-shirt comedians are located in Washington DC. Better yet, most of these boutiques offers stylist support and online chats concerning their products, so feel free to contact them for price enquiries and pre-orders.
Not used to the idea of online-shopping? You could just wander off alone browsing through these shelves for some fashion muses. The catalogues itself are already candy eyes, so have fun with it. Of course there are more, and even bigger ones –like Mangga Dua big, if you know what I’m saying– but most of these listed below are freestanders, they design or handcraft it, produce or distribute their products on their own.
So here’s to fashion, literature, aesthetic living, passion for art, and Paris Hilton.
Just click on the shop’s title or its logo.
