Cushions

You wouldn't know it driving past but this shop is quite delightful. I've been coming here over the years but only now have I posted about it because I kind of wanted to keep it my little secret for a while. But ok seeing as we are leaving I suppose I should pay it forward. This place would probably have to be the best place to get cushions made, sewn, custom-made. We have gotten our dining chair cushions made here as well as sofa cushions etc etc for a significant fraction of the price anywhere else (and believe me I have looked and tried elsewhere). I went for a little visit here to buy some sofa cushions for us for Germany and took some quick snaps of the store front. They are usually pretty upfront, and as a seller here in Jakarta it's quite rare. When they are busy or is unable to do the job they will say in the beginning and as soon as your order is done they call you in the morning and either arrange to have it sent to your place free of charge or you can pick it up onsite but either way, they will always call.

Anyways so I picked up a couple of large sofa cushions made of dacron, I'm not sure what it is but the lady told me that when the cushions get flattened as they do over time, I only need to leave it out in the sun for an afternoon and they will fluff out as good as new and they only costed me about 60rp each.
custom made beds, pillows, cushions you name it, they probably have it.

The lady behind it all. I think she owns the place, I call her "Chi-chi" because everyone else called her that and I wanted to blend in. She is as the Australians would say "tough but fair"..if you press her hard enough she usually gives you a lower price

any kind of cushions at any strength and material.

you can either choose some materials here or bring your own. I normally buy some fabrics either at mayestik or ikea whenever I go back to Aust and get stuff made here.
