Highlights

Wirata and Nyoman started their business after years of working as a tailor and seamstress for other large, foreign owned, businesses based in Bali. The husband and wife operate a "cottage" type clothing manufacturing facility in the heart of Ubud, Indonesia. They have many family members working with them, so it is a very close knit operation. All of the employees have been with the company since their inception. They pay very fair wages for the area and type of work and as a result, the jobs are coveted and considered highly desirable. Many of the employees live in villages that are too far away to commute to Ubud daily, so the company provides them with housing and food during the work week.

All of the clothing is Balinese-inspired but designed for the western market. Indonesians are highly skilled with making and designing clothing and they usually have several hand made outfits used for attending various temple ceremonies. The batik dying process used in some of the clothing is recognized as an art, and is studied and practiced in Indonesia. It is a very involved process that includes several dying steps. The jewelry is made from plastic beads and locally sourced, sustainable wood. All of the jewelry is hand beaded. Many Balinese women use this beading in their designs for the special lace top (known as the Kebaya) for ceremonies.

In addition, Live Worldly donates a portion of proceeds from this item to The Surfrider Foundation, a non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of our world's oceans, waves and beaches.
