In December I had a black handbag made in Bali, actually someone at the shopping centre here yesterday commented on how much they liked it. It cost me about 700,000 (its not a small clutch bag) after some hard bargaining. I was going to get a wallet made also and they wanted about 300 thousand for that. But in the end I decided the wallet I have now is still perfectly OK. Tip, if you get a wallet made make sure they make the card holder part big enough to hold all your plastic cards in there. Sometimes they'll make it too small. Also my bag was copied from a photo.
Sorry but right at this moment, I can't even remember the name of the shop. A few years ago I had another bag made at Lembi leather, you'll have to check the archives for their contact details. And that bag lasted me years. I only got the new one made because I wanted a different colour.
