Did you go to the one near Bintang Supermarket too? The Kuta Factory Outlet usually has very different things from the one in Legian/Seminyak.
I always go to both & sometimes I spend up big at the Kuta shop, other times at the one near Bintang. Last trip (late May) I got a few nice things at both - I esp like their necklaces, great gifts.
Depends on your taste of course but I am short & top heavy so lots of the loose Animale stuff suits me. I also like that the factory outlets carry Jacques Ruc & other designer things at reduced prices. Jacques Ruc's prices are absurd lately. And Animale has winter stuff.
Re: Tommy's - I agree that they're not interested in doing copies & take yonks - but I was interested to see in May that they had copies of an Oroton bag I had wanted made (quick trip - not enough time but I left the details with them) in the previous October. Charging heaps, too but hey it was on the net.
I always feel so very sorry for the perfume & make-up girls in Centro & Matahari - how very boring their lives must be. Can't blame them for latching onto a potential sale, I guess. At least they have jobs.
Looking forward to more of your JBRs.
