But now we get something different and new, an event with fresh concept came because seeing more and more clothing production in Bandung and Indonesia. They be present indoor, they called Trademark 2011.

Trademark 2011 presenting by PT. Nureco Resources, the concept of Trademark originated the idea fromSaira, Irsan, Farhan and Rehana, who feel care to clothing in Bandung and Indonesia. They appraised Bandung are cities which large produce clothes, and Bandung is a fashion city. In fact, many Bandung products that do not famous in Bandung, however famous in another city and even outside Indonesia. Starting from that attention, then want to bring different thing way an event. Many people have the notion that Bandung has reduced creativity, but Sairah deny it “Look Trademark, so many creativity and so many people who want to come” she said. Four of the teenagers wants a different concept from other events, then they presented Trademark 2011.

Trademark 2011 is the first indoor market in Bandung. Trademark located at Paris Van Java one of biggest shopping center in Bandung. You can walk, eat or hanging out with friends, family or your partner, even came with pets. Imagine, you come to a large shopping center and visited by many people but you can enjoy it like your home. Moreover, if you can come to the Trademark Indoor Market 2011.

After 18.00 pm on the first day of the Trademark 2011 Indoor Market recently opened to the public. So began multiply visitors who were present to obtain unique items.

Trademark concept was warehouse. No wonder when began to enter the area of trademark, we like being in a warehouse with a part of  properties that use wood, such as tables and chairs. Although the concept of the warehouse, but all area in Trademark  neat decor. When the opening, area of booth available free food, mineral water and cookies from j’n'c cookies. Yes, like coffee break. In addition there are also booth for the free magazine that could taked to home.

Not a few of those who opened the booth here initially only sell online or entrust the goods at another store. Not only the owner of the booth who benefit from the event. Consumers also feel lucky with the existence of event like this. Visitors, average teenager, although not all of them teenagers, were very enthusiastic with the goods sold in the area of this trademark because the items sold here are unique and sometimes hard to find outside.

The range of prices products in booth in Trademark 2011 variant depend to the quality of products. There was a fairly priced for student pockets, but sometime prices with the more expensive. But all was in accordance with the product conditions. The high price because the goods is a limited edition product. For example, a booth named Affairs, they produce clothes every design at most 24 pieces of each type. Let’s take another example, Aidia.co booth by ITB’s students, they bring the creations of light that could function as a whiteboard that is named “Sirius“. There are also booth are specialized in selling toys, calledPlastic Culture. Their toys there brought that were imported from America and they also sell Toys that had only three product of the world. There was also a Calpon, booth sells recycled waste products such as wall clocks, necklaces, and other decoration.

We feel, Trademark 2011 not only fresh but also unique like their product.

Apewerx Clothing and Distribution

 

Bandung’s have a million charm of beauty, ranging from the humid air, the warm-hearted people, to young people creative. Because many young people are creative and always want to show the work to something useful, then in the flower city we have a lot to get clothing industry are everywhere. All were the result of the creativity of young people in Bandung. So that cities commonly called the “Paris Van Java” never run out for discussion.

Look at so many Clothing and Distribution Store around Jl. Truno Joyo and its surroundings. This region is still a Dago, Dago is the name of an area known for its green with trees everywhere. The main Dago area jl. Ir. H. Juanda is very beautiful area in central Bandung.

This time, our visit a clothing store and distribution stores that call themselves Aperwerx. By afternoon Bandung with the atmosphere is always fun, plus a little rain, we were treated like friends who come to visit their stores. As typical of Bandung that prioritizes community hospitality, marketing manager Aperwerx Kiki Marzuki also do it to us.

Apewerx located on Jl. Sultan Tirtayasa No.24, a street in the Bandung City adjacent to Jl. Joyo Truno region already famous for its clothing industry in Bandung. This area will not look like a shopping center, because this area is a residential community. With such a beautiful environment and many trees could be found, so this area can also be enjoyed on foot.

Apewerx standing years from the year 2009. Founded by five friends that they all had the same hobbies make desaign. They are Kiki Marzuki, Teguh Lahiria, Andi Nugraha Permana and Kiagus Rezi Mega. According to Kiki Marzuki Apewerx it actually means “monkey” and “trying”, because monkeys like work then they infer Apewerx it means to “try to work harder”, a kind of philosophy for teenangers who develop the business while keeping the industry in Bandung still life.

Before occupying a shop on Jl. Sultan Tirtayasa No.24 they only produce clothing to sell through other Distribution Store in Bandung. Iu they do already since 10 years ago. They used to call them mention that they produce Clothing “Nino” that produces only women clothing and now renamed Apewerx.

In Apewerx Clothing and Distribution Store you can get t-shirts, sweaters, jackets, hats and bags and many other things. Same as other Distribution Store in the Bandung City, with quality that it was no doubt about it. But one thing you have noted from Aperwerx, they provide the goods with an emphasis desaign of each item available. With five people all of whom are owners who have long desaigner present the world’s Clothing in the city of Bandung. Are you still going to doubt their ability design? we thought there’s no doubt for that. It would be better if the color selection screen printing and the color is very good as done Apewerx.

In addition there is an advantage in desaign, Apewerx also adept set of materials in accordance with the picture they used. For a cool area like they used to use bandung Combat 24, and that it has become standard in the world indsutri clothing Bandung. For you who live in areas that have enough heat, do not worry because Apewerx also still have a T-shirt material thinner like Combat 30. All of which has been good it would be enhanced by choosing a good quality screen printing to produce a T-shirt that did not experience the color fastness.

Especially for T-shirts, they only result in at most 30 T-shirts for one picture. All were also in the spread to several regions in Indonesia such as Jakarta, Makassar, Yogyakarta, Semarang and Bandung course. So you never worry about getting T-shirts with a picture that had a lot of disposable people. We conclude for a Clothing Line, when there were only 30 for each different it has been called limited edition. That’s what do these youth to make a product which they produce is completely different from other Clothing in Bandung.

In addition to the branded product Apewerx pop art that uses themes, here you can also find a product with another brand but still below management Apewerx. For example Raven Reich theme “Ghotic GOST” from every existing product. There is still the brand of product that provides the theme Thornz monsters of every item produced. The third addition to the existing brand, there’s the next one they call Scary Narchos that uses the theme. So, please wait desaign this newest of them.

If you visit Bandung to shop, but not follow Apewerx Clothing and Distribution Store, then you will lose. Because in Apewerx Clothing and Distribution Store, and you’ll find a really quality product. They gave the Picture, colors, and tidiness of each product that will give to you guys. For quality ingredients, never hesitate, because this Bandung. Indonesian clothing industry on its head and all that Aperwerx have standards. But unfortunately there’s only product that can be used males.

So Bandung also referred to as Paris van java scilicet a cities like Paris (France) located in Java. There is one Dutch’s statement in Indonesia colonial period, “don’t be died, before come to Paris van java“. Really fantastic.

Initiated by their predecessors, Dewi Lestari and Candil (Seurieus Band). In the early emergence of F2WL is only represents a art performances, but it is a new thing on this time, because some events such as art performances are rarely in Bandung.

F2WL 2009 was held at Sasana Budaya Ganesha(SABUGA) Bandung, a large building devoted to the show and other big events from Institute Technology Bandung (ITB). Due to the limited capacity of the building, visitors that year less into 4000 people.

So until now though already famous, they still choose to independent. Efek Rumah Kaca consists of Cholil Mahmud (Vocals and Guitar),Yunan Faizal (Bass) and Akbar Bagus Sudibyo (drums). However, for performances in 2011 F2WL Yunan Faizal could not come because being sick. They claimed to have been busy preparing their third album of material that will be released this year. Cholil said for their new album, which will slightly shift the color of music, but will not be noticeable. Lets wait it.

Performance of Efek Rumah Kaca start with a song from their second album titled “Tubuhmu membiru, tragis” a jazzy song but it contains many social message. We often likens this song as a motivation for living. The second song was “Ballerina“, a song that nge-beat and fast but still cheerful. Still contains messages about life. The stage performances from Efek Rumah Kaca continue with the song “Jangan bakar buku“, this song sounds a bit slowly but will be felt into social. Next song titled “Kenakalan remaja di era informatika“, the audience to sing along with this song, because this song had long become hits. Then the interesting performances from Efek Rumah Kaca continued with the song “Hujan jangan marah“, the song slowly and talked about the fear of an angry nature. Followed by the song “Mosi tidak percaya” one again we were served fast and powerful song, making F2WL roared because delight to get it. The next song is the best in our opinion, because the song was specially made to commemorate Munir, a humanitarian activist who died when the flight was because be given poison. The song is titled “Di Udara“. Many audience are also following this song, because they memorized. Finally all performance for Efek Rumah Kaca was closed with the song “Hujan di bulan desember”.
