In short, Seminyak is a paradise for shoppers. Here is a place where you can shop for designer boutiques, international surf shops and lifestyle brand outlets.
This is where you can go for famous designer labels unique to Bali. You will get lost in a whirlpool of designer labels. It is easy to find cool clothing if you look for updated fashion.
At Biasa Bali you come across two categories of flagship stores.
The first category includes matching accessories like lightweight shawls, scarves, belts and handbag varieties. The second category you will find in the upper story. There you will come across boutique stocks such as first class cotton, linen and silk. All this clothing is ideal for Seminyak's tropical climate. Here you will also find jewellery with unique designs.
If you look for tradition-bound jewellery, Tulola Jewellery is the place. It is a brainchild of New York-born Balinese designer. Before the jewellery place itself, you will fall in love with the environment. It is shaded by palms while showcasing Sri Luce Rusna's collection. Here you can see a good balance between east and west in the one-off jewellery pieces. Tulolaa also showcases a number of precious and semi-precious stones. If you wonder how they could make this jewellery unique, the reason is obvious. They are making use of age-old traditional techniques. The trend now is to go back to the age old method. And Tulolaa is following that theory.
Kody & Ko is the place where you can have a good look at home ware and other art pieces. If you are interested in Indonesian furniture, here it is. Have a good look. Most art pieces are made by local artists. Among the unique art pieces, you will find Buddha statues as well as statuettes.
Drifter Surf Shop is as if it is built for surfers. Truly it is. You got everything to chill out apart from surfing – not to mention the coffee bar and other amenities. And added to that, you will be greeted by a good collection of great artistic works.
If you are a jewellery fan, here is the place uniquely designed for you. One step inside and a whole world of world-class jewellery glistens right in front of you. They include gold and silver items studded with precious and semiprecious stones in abundance. So to say, Jemme Jewellery offers you a broad collection of jewellery items. It could be anything from rings to bracelets and necklaces. And the shop has a unique range for men as well. That includes men's silver and a range of other accessories.
The café is surrounded by paddy fields in the neighbourhood. Jemme Jewellery is easy to reach if you stay at a Villa Bali Seminyak such as Samaja Villas Kunti. And for those who are concerned about parking, Jemme Jewellery has nothing to worry about. You have enough space for your vehicle there.
