The Paul Ropp Experience

Kerabokan is a short distance from Seminyak and Legian, but is a completely different world from the Bali of tourists.

Here, among artisans of wood, granite, glass works is the workplace and warehouse of Paul Ropp.

Here, away from the glitzy and spiffy (read sterile) Paul Ropp outlets, is where I prefer to shop for my bohemian/60s-flower child clothes.

I like that sense of stepping back in time and shopping at source ...

You look great! :)

Tough work picking out pieces from all that racks, isn't it?

imp said...

oh very nice! a proper warehouse sale with all the fun! i assume few people would head to this outlet?

tuti - actually you go insane because there is no way of knowing what's available except to keep going back ie there is no system to the inventory. but i like the chaos:)

wildgoose - thanks. yes, and i am exhausted after each expedition...

imp - you are quite right that few people head for the warehouse. seriously, it takes determination to find the warehouse. the entire area is laid out haphazardly.

zewt - mostly :)
