Shopping in Bali is all about buying traditional arts and crafts. therefore for anybody who’s fond of beautiful things-Bali can seem like heaven on earth. The island has an astounding range of handicrafts, all of them delicate, lovely and typically Balinese.
Among the best-known and easily available handicrafts are batiks, embroidered and woven cottons and silks, paintings, leather ware, pottery, shell ornaments, masks, woodcarvings, basketry, bamboo furniture, carved bone and silverwork.
All around the island, and particularly in the capital, Denpasar, you’ll find umpteen shops selling these handicrafts. Nearly all of them are fairly expensive though, so be prepared to bargain if you want to get a good deal.
