Things to do in Bali, Indonesia: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops
Bali is a living postcard, an Indonesian paradise that feels like a fantasy. Soak up the sun on a stretch of fine white sand, or commune with the tropical creatures as you dive along coral ridges or the colorful wreck of a WWII war ship. On shore, the lush jungle shelters stone temples and mischievous monkeys. The “artistic capital” of Ubud is the perfect place to see a cultural dance performance, take a batik or silver-smithing workshop, or invigorate your mind and body in a yoga class.

We bought some unusual items on a trip to Flores Island when we were there in 2012...one was a ceremonial piece from Sumba that they had only seen one other time...They had some nice weavings there for sale and the work they do there to encourage the tribes on the islands to use renewable sources for weaving and dyeing was very good as they were using commercial chemical dyes before and they were polluting and expensive as opposed to natural and renewable with only their labor instead of money...this was.around 2012..so disregard the years posted below....

This is one of my favorite shops in the world! Really. If you love Indigo, this is the ultimate shopping experience. From beautiful pillows to the cutest dresses, handmade scarves, placemats, home wares, and more. There’s so much to choose from you will want to buy everything.

Such a highly professional and quick service. We had 2 pairs of boots and an absolutely gorgeous leather jacket made. Quality and fit is amazing. They even adjusted one pair of boots so quickly when we realized that they were a smidge big. If you want quality made leather goods - Kuta Leather & Tailor will provide it.

I recently went to Bali for the first time. I had heard you could get quality leather goods made to order/measure. I did some research on TripAdvisor and came across Lemona. Lemona seemed to be the most highly rated leather place I could find - which was convenient as I was staying in Seminyak. I wanted an overnight duffle bag made, two pairs of shoes, and a pen sleeve. I showed the guys photos of what I wanted and they told me they could make it. For what it’s worth the pictures I showed were of St Crispin shoes, a Mont Blanc pen sleeve, and a Brunello Cucinelli overnight bag - all of them very well made and high end products. I could not be happier with the results. The bag cost ~$250AUD, shoes ~$130AUD each, and the pen sleeve ~$25AUD. They delivered the goods to Double Six on the day they said they would be ready. At all times Idris was very responsive on WhatsApp and kept me in the loop during the whole process. The only thing I was skeptical about was the it of the shoes. They fit incredibly well, well beyond what I had expected. The detail of the bag is almost identical to the picture provided. The shoes were very close, but you cannot expect a perfect recreation of a €1500 shoe. That said, I am over the moon with the product. I am curious to see how they last overtime (I don’t wear the same shoe each day as to give the leather time to rest and have the shoe tree absorb the sweat). I will be putting in more orders in the future and I can not recommend this outfit enough. Top notch. Thank you again guys, all the positive reviews are well deserved.

Beautiful, and high-quality clothing to match. Very friendly staff. They can really take a joke ????. I generally have my Bali clothes that I wear when I am here, but not back in California - but the coat and shirts I just bought at ATC, I will be sporting all over California. I met the owner here when I was trying on a coat a couple of weeks ago. Her name is Charlotte. A very remarkable lady with quite a history in the fashion business. She gives great fashion advice. I thank her the crew at ABC for these Beautiful new clothes! I think they have 3 shops in Ubud. Sampai Jumpa Lagi ????
