Square Journey

This is a fellowship of diving, photography and travel enthusiasts, co-founded by my friend and business associate, Heru Suryoko.

As I mentioned in my previous post, Heru and these guys have just returned from their trip to Lhasa, Tibet. Apparently they brought some souvenirs.

So for those in Jakarta next week, come to THE FACTORY Gallery at Tanah Kusir, Southwest Jakarta near Bintaro, from Friday to Sunday, 10 am – 10 pm, and enjoy the view. It’s open for public and free admission.

Here’s South Jakarta from Google Map with some added highlights to help you get there.

 

Hope in BrightSpot Market

I love the idea of a curated market, and the way the organizer and merchants package it casually and not too big. And the goods are good either, it makes you proud as an Indonesian that some of you can produce goods with international quality.

Due to their limited production they won’t cost little, but it’s very much worth a buy, especially knowing you’ll be wearing one of only few items no longer reproduced, sometimes the only one.

I just happen to have shopped enough clothing for the past 3 months due to my change in waist size, and I haven’t got a house yet to fill with lamps and furniture. But you can be sure I will someday buy one of their goods, most likely the shoes since in this last visit I was so impressed with the collections. I’m also interested in buying one of the collections of my friend Timmy, who has been designing some cool leather shoes for The Footwear Group. He looks ready to sell his shoes in New York.

See you next time, creative young entrepreneurs.
