The main road through Sukarara is lined with cooperative showrooms — open-fronted buildings stacked floor-to-ceiling with folded textiles. The cooperatives pool the work of dozens of village families, set fixed prices, and handle haggling so that the weavers themselves do not have to. They are the easiest place for visitors to buy, and the staff are usually willing to spread out twenty or thirty pieces on the floor so you can compare patterns and colours.
The range runs from small woven sashes and table runners at a few hundred thousand rupiah up to ceremonial songket with heavy gold-thread work that can cost tens of millions. Most cooperatives also stock weaving from other Sasak villages and a few pieces from Sumba and Flores, so it is worth asking where a specific cloth was made. Prices are roughly half what the same pieces fetch in Bali or Jakarta, and shipping abroad can be arranged for larger orders.
