Vintage Train to Solo for a Vintage Market
Please please let me know if you have seen cuter trains than this! Where and how can we all see it? This is the train I took to go to Solo. It is an hour on this train.
You can buy the ticket a day in advance online, but I just rocked up, and got the very last tickets. Coming home I didn’t get the next train I want, which means I ended up sitting in papa bread shop eating and chatting. A tip that the entrance to the main Yogyakarta Station for cars is on the side, plus to buy the tickets you have to go to the office on the right hand side of the entrance of the main station, you can’t buy it in the station it self. Here is a picture to guide you.
The journey was really straight forward. The plan was to go to the Pasar Triwindu, the vintage market and the Batik Village.
Pasar Triwindu was only 15 minutes with the Becak (Rickshaw), when we were there, there was hardly anyone there. The market is full floor to ceiling with vintage items, things that are made from vintage items and made like vintage items. I think if i was not going to Labuan Bajo after that, I would have a suitcase full of random cool items that I don’t need. I guess it was good in a way.
Some of you might think this look like a lot of junk! but I love them they are so cool, I want to hand over my money.
I really wanted a batik printing stamp but most that are sold there was new, they range from IDR100,000 to 300,000. Again thank goodness for light packing principals and planned trip to Labuan Bajo.
My Favourite most randomn item they sold here is this, a dentist chair!
We did find the Batik Village, which seems really empty and quiet. The village is just a row of houses with shops in the front. You can’t necessarily see the batik making process, unless you buy something in the house. I found the quality and design of batiks in the shops pretty disappointing. I only bought one man shirt, because I love the design, at the moment it is in my pile of to-be-reworked-with-sewing-machine. So I hopefully these images of the market satisfy you.
So have you been there and what did you buy? So I can envy you…
Menarik cerita jalan2nya. Saya juga suka dengan barang2 vintage dan antik. Di state tempat tinggal saya, ada pasar barang2 vintage dan antik favorit yang rasanya kalau kesana pasti mau borong sepuas2nya.
Terima kasih! Oh seru juga yah kalau ada regular pasar antik..harga2nya terjangkau gak?
Harga2nya sangat terjangkau. Harganya bisa dari yang sedollar sampai yang ratusan dollar. Bahkan saat aku menemani ibu mertua berburu barang antik dan vintage di pasar itu, pemilik tokonya memberikan hadiah 3 poster niaga dari tahun 1920. Rezeki mantu solehah. Hahaha!!
Blom pernah ke Solo apalagi ke Triwindu. Itu rantang dan mug2 dan piring2nya lucuuuuu banget, pasti pengen borong semua yah👌🏻😍
Iya dari Jogja lumayan cepet naik kereta seruu..Iya nawarnya harus kuat deh kayaknya..
waaaa, belom pernah ke sana, kelihatannya menyenangkaaaan! tadinya kebayang mirip2 Jalan Surabaya di Jakarta, tapi kyknya jauh lebih menarik karena barang2nya lebih banyak Jawa tua gitu ya. ❤ lampu2 gantungnya sama blangkonnya (or whatever they are, foto yg di atasnya kursi dokter gigi) keren2, apalagi cap2 batiknya, uuuuhhh…. untunglah kamu ngga kepikir untuk kirim barang2 belanjaan di situ ke UK pake kapal. 😀
I’ve been here too! Aku beli piring2 gambreng dan mug blirik. Bikin kalap barang2 antik nya ya. Betul shinta bilang ada soto tp pas disana aku klewetan soto nya jugak hahaha! Batik Village itu sama dengan Laweyan bukan? Laweyan perasaan aku satu jalan penuh kanan dan kiri rumah2 mode batik dan batiknya bagus2 buanget harga nya juga bagus. Mama aku lebih suka ke PGS klo cari batik, soalnya murah dan kualitas nya bagus<– katanya dia sih.
Iya Laweyan..waktu aku kesana batiknya kurang ok dan harganya cukup mahal…PGS tuh apa?
Wow that “junk” looks awesome!
They do, don’t they
Aku pingin ke Triwindu tapi belum kesampean padahal udah dua kali ke Solo. Ah, light traveling saved you from borong barang ya 😄
Iya mba, aku kepengen rantang-rantang, pecah belah, wah banyak deh. Akhirnya cuman mampu beli gambaran HeMAN. hahahha.
Ha…ha…Dari rantang ke gambaran He Man jauh ya. Nanti kalo rencana ke Solo bisa tanya Shinta ya.
Abis gambaran He Man kan cuman selembar dan bisa diselipin. 🙂 hahahha
Kalo ke Triwindu bawa koper cadangan mbak Yo hehehe, kalap. Prop buat masak2 atau utensils gt lucu2
Ppasar Triwindu itu nyenengin banget tapi panasnya mana tahan. Pengen beli batik capnya tapi belum kesampean. Nyobain soto Triwindunya juga nggak? enak dan seger looooooh
Wah kelewatan kayaknya sotonya. Dimananya tuh ada soto?
Ada warung di jalan deket pertigaan jl. Triwindu. Aku pernah review. Pasar Triwindu yg skarang itu udah hsl renovasi dan gedung baru. Kalau jaman dulu lebih “pasar” lagi…
Udah kelewatan soto aku kelewatan blogmu yah Shin
