The Balinese Cloths Prada
Prada cloths is identified by gold designs on batik cloth. Originally the cloth was made with gold but now it is painted using imitation gold coloring, usually on polyester, for use in making fans and hotel decorations. Most Balinese dance costumes are also made of prada. A good place to buy prada is the Sukawati Art market.

The Balinese Cloths Songket
Songket is a technique by which gold or silver threads are woven into the cloth or ikat. It usually comes in 2-metre lengths for use as sarongs or long scarves by Balinese women in ceremonies. Antique cloths can also be found, but are rarely in good condition. New songket of various quality are still woven in Klungkung. Quality is, of course, reflected in the price. If the item is cheap, this means the songket is loosely woven. Remember that the best quality can cost over 3.000.000 Rupiah.
