Jeans Street, Bandung – A Lesson In How To Sell Denim

Posted on 14 October 2009 by anthony

Jeans Street is located in the city of Bandung, in western Java, Indonesia.

Well, Jeans Street is the nickname.  The street name is actually Jalan Cihampelas, located to the north of the Bandung city centre.

Funnily enough, it’s the place to buy Jeans in town.

However, what is unique about Jeans Street are the lengths store owners go to advertise their Jeans.  You really have to go there to believe this!

It starts of tame enough.  Firstly in Jeans Street, there is the Aladdin Jeans Shop.

Further up Jeans Street is the Superman Jeans Shop.

A bit later in Jeans Street, there is the Spiderman Jeans Shop.

But my favourite is the enormous 20 foot plaster statue of Rambo, at Super Rambo Jeans.

When you stand next to Rambo in Jeans Street, you feel like you’ve been transported to the land of the giant plaster statues.

To put things into perspective, here is the scale of Rambo from across the road.

I love this quirky stuff about travel, and Jeans Street is a great example of this.

This kind of advertising makes buying Jeans online seem so boring!

So make sure you check out Jeans Street if you are ever in Bandung!

Air Asia has a number of flights to Bandung from a number of centres.  Check out their website for some flights to Bandung!
