A Queen of Awul-Awul
Second hand shop break out violently in
Jogja. Almost in every corner of the street this kind of
shop is exist. The existance of these shops are gloried by
almost of young artists in here. You can find every kind
of cloth here, from t-shirts, shorts, longs, jackets,
jumpers, leather suits, bag – casual/formal, hat, etc. If
we lucky, we will find the branded one or may corean army
uniform, but we used to be tuff to sort and turn upside
down the mound of clothes. In the Javanesse languange
[turn upside down] means /ngabul-abul/ so we call
/abul-abul/ or /awul-awul/ for this kind of shop. In our
community, the luckiest man in the second hand clothes
matter is Nuning – Nur Aini Juliastuti – Eksponen of Kunci
Cultural Studies Center. This young women is very tuff in
the bargain action. She get oftenly for only Rp. 3.000,-
per t-shirt. Than cause of her expertise we call her “the
Queen of Awul-awul”. Moreover, she know very well some
awul-awul’ regulation, such us, when they make sale!!
Crazy…ha..the second hand make sale! Nuning say, sometime
the awul-awuls just give for free if the new stock come.
Than the consumer in the sale time, is becak driver,
beggar, etc.
