Pasar Klewer
One of Indonesia's largest batik fabric wholesale markets, with thousands of stalls selling all kinds of batik cloth and garments.
The market sits beside the north square of the Kraton Surakarta and is packed with stalls across multiple floors. It offers everything from hand-drawn batik and printed fabrics to batik shirts, sarongs and headscarves, at prices lower than in shopping malls. It mainly does wholesale but also sells retail. The market was rebuilt after a major fire in 2014, so the environment is fairly new. Bargaining is expected, and be sure to tell apart hand-drawn, hand-stamped and machine-printed batik. It can be visited together with the Kraton and the Great Mosque.
