For information, a total of 108 Lululemon bags were reported missing due to a theft committed by a syndicate in the cargo warehouse area of Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.
According to information on the official Lululemon website, the price of small-sized bags starts at 29 US dollars or approximately IDR 510,000 at the current exchange rate.
As a result of this case, the company’s total losses are estimated at around IDR 213 million.
This loss is calculated based on the average price of Lululemon bags, which is estimated at IDR 1.9 million per unit.

The case began when PT Pungkook Indonesia One sent 4,749 Lululemon bags from Grobogan, Central Java, to Shanghai, China, through Garuda Indonesia’s cargo service.
