“We pour love into our community of artisans. Spending many months of the year in Bali designing and developing our collections we find ourselves falling in step with the rhythm of their lives.
And because we make in communities, not factories, we spend much of this time in their homes becoming as closely knit as the warp and weft of our beautiful bags. This familiarity has led us to discover so much more about the individuals in our team, and Bali itself.
A wealth of indigenous wisdom has amassed within our communities that dates back centuries. Balinese believe in Tri Hita Kirana a philosophy of living in harmony and balance with God, one another and nature.
What defines us from other artisan led businesses is how we share our objectives with our communities from the outset. We revive the heritage skills inherited from their ancestors and actively encourage related skills such as agriculture. We’ve seen an increase in the cultivation of plant fibres on their own land which we purchase for production. The effects of sustainable sourcing permeate right through extended communities, enabling them to thrive working in a craft industry that positively reinforces their culture.”
