Purchasing items of clothing
문화적 배경
The tradition of 'Baju Baru' (New Clothes) for Lebaran is so strong that it drives the retail economy for the entire year. Many people save money specifically for this purchase. In traditional markets in Java, 'beli baju' always involves a social contract of bargaining. It's considered a skill and a way to build rapport with the seller. In Jakarta, 'beli baju' has shifted towards 'thrifting' in places like Pasar Senen, where it's seen as a cool, vintage lifestyle choice rather than a necessity. Minang people are famous for being textile traders. 'Beli baju' in a Minang-run market often involves very spirited and friendly negotiation.
