Klewer Market, Selling Various Motives of Batik

by Endang Kusumastuti

Solo not to visit if it does not complete the purchase and batik cloth. One of the interesting than in the city of Solo palace is shopping, especially batik. Many alternative locations to be a destination shopping batik. Start of batik cloth with motifs Solo, batik cap, batik clothes, bed linen batik cloth, to slip and all the smelly batik accessories, available in Solo.

For tourists who have a pocket thin, will not become a hindrance to shop batik. Simply come to the Klewer Market, tourists can directly distribute shopping hobby. Klewer Market location in the middle of the city is also quite easy to reach. Moreover, the market was built in 1970 will be in Surakarta palace complex.

Prices ranging from dozens to hundreds of thousands of thousands, batik cloth in a variety of patterns and models, can be found in the market batik in Indonesia. Short-sleeve shirt with batik motifs here may be purchased at the price is relatively inexpensive, ranging from Rp 15 to Rp thousand to 25 thousand ordinary cotton. The material is made from silk fabric, the price is of course much more expensive.

Although cheaper than the shop price, but buyers should also be careful. The buyers often do not know the circumstances batik will be deceived, either a matter of price and material. "It is better that come here have friends who can speak Javanese. And that surely must be a smart-smart bid price. If the seller remains in the initial price, it is better to find another"

In addition, buyers should also choose carefully in batik cloth that will be purchased. For, with the merchandise so much, sometimes the seller does not often consider the quality of goods dagangannya. "If we buy in the amount of many, should be seen one by one. Do not pay directly, because it was not uncommon to have the goods in the parcel with disabilities"

Another note by the visitors. Because the market is Klewer traditional market, do not hope that a visitor can enjoy the event with a comfortable shopping in this place. The atmosphere is hot and crowded with traders and buyers often become another reason why visitors do not want to buy batik in this place.

If the atmosphere is hot and uncomfortable to be one of the reasons, then there's more shopping batik for those who have a pocket thin. As in Pusat Grosir Solo (PGS) and Beteng area. The two shopping centers that are specialized selling batik although not all the stalls there selling batik.

Similar to the Klewer Market, the price of batik cloth and clothing in the two places that can still be affordable. Although, if compared with the Klewer, batik was sold in places that are less complete. "If we want a more comfortable and not hot, so better to buy in or PGS in Beteng. However, often the desired item is not here and there in the Klewer, because in Klewer is more complete," said one visitor.

For tourists and would have a pocket bold batik with high quality, there are two locations should visit. That is, Kampung Kauman and Kampung Batik Laweyan. Kauman village is located not so far from the Klewer Market, while Kampung Batik Laweyan located about 5-6 kilometers from the Klewer Market.

In Kampung Batik Kauman Laweyan and tourists can choose this batik cloth with good quality. Or they can view the writing process to make at this time is rarely produced by batik industry.

Soal price batik centers in far more expensive than in the Klewer Market. The price offered for the tens of thousands of ordinary cloth to millions of rupiah for batik cloth from the silk. "If the Kauman, batik, with more on the classical motifs that have been modified. In fact, there is also a classic, but at this time very few who make it," said Gunawan Setiawan, owner of the gallery in Kampung Batik Gunawan Kauman.

Meanwhile, in Kampung Batik Laweyan, tourists tend to be more about this area compared with the Kauman. Batik cloth with a stamp and can be found in all the galleries in the region. "If the Laweyan, both batik cloth cap and write with more modern motifs, can be found. Apparel and blouse, and so good, can also be bought here," said gallery owner Batik Mahkota Laweyan, Alpha Febela Priyatmono.
