Klewer

Klewer commonly denotes Pasar Klewer, a historic textile market located in Surakarta, commonly known as Solo, in Central Java, Indonesia. The market specializes in fabrics, batik, clothing, and accessories and functions as a major wholesale and retail hub for textiles in the region. Its densely packed stalls offer a wide range of goods, from traditional batik patterns to modern textiles, attracting buyers from across Java and beyond.

Pasar Klewer has long been an important center of the Indonesian textile trade, supporting traders, tailors, and small manufacturers. The market is notable for its role in shaping local fashion and distribution networks, with direct supplier-to-buyer interactions and a bargaining culture that characterizes traditional Indonesian markets. It has also faced modernization efforts aimed at improving safety and logistics, while preserving its character as a traditional trading venue.

In addition to the market, Klewer is used as a surname and appears as a place name in various contexts. As a surname, it is relatively uncommon, and the use as a place name can refer to different locations depending on historical and linguistic factors.
