Tanah Abang

Tanah Abang Market is the biggest textile market in Southeast Asia. This market has been in operation since 1735, becoming one of the most important ones in the region. This market is even very popular in Africa and the Middle East. The total transaction here can reach about 45 million US dollars per day.

Pasar Senen

This market is known not only for its clothes business, but also other stuff like clock, watch, bag, and wallets. Interestingly, Pasar Senen is also popular as the center of the secondhand clothing market. If you are lucky, you might find good clothes at extremely low prices here. Nevertheless, you can still get new ones at low prices too.

Thamrin City

This market is relatively close to Tanah Abang, but it targets end users instead of smaller sellers. You can buy many clothes per piece, without any minimum buy. The place is relatively more comfortable to explore because the size is not too big. You can still get probably any clothes you desire in this marketplace.

Pasar Mayestik

This market is a bit unique. So you come here not to buy clothes but to make one. You buy the fabric and then go to one of the tailors there. They will make the clothes as per your wish. If you have no idea what kind of clothes you should make, they will help you. However, it is still best to come to this market prepared with the type of fabric you want to buy and the model of clothes you want to create.
