Another Day In Our Life

It's just another day. What makes it a little bit different is because it's in Bali. Where prayers and offerings are a simple daily rituals, although it might seems elaborate - something that makes most of us overwhelmed. But not for balinese.

Haute Textile

Every piece is labour of love. woven, dyed, stitched and crafted with heart.

Obin Komara is one of very few masters in Indonesian textile. She has also simplified kebaya and make it very modern so you won't hesitate to wear it. The only thing to hesitate is to buy one piece of her work of art.  A piece of art that would cost you around IDR 25 million, so I've heard. But trust me,  it is something worth to posses, if you got the money.

Eddy Betty; Dreamy Classy

Bygone era inspired, where glamour means delicate taste in a finest way.
Now you can see, that haute couture doesn't mean 'more is more'. If you think otherwise, perhaps you've been mixed up with dance or opera costumes :-)

We're Getting There

We all are getting old. 

But how we're getting there, it's all up to us.

That's what I saw on these people I met on my visit to Jogja.

Getting old and accept the change naturally, and gracefully,

that's what I intend to do.

Fabricorgasm at Klungkung

The beautiful market

 Situated in the heart of Semarapura city, 2 hours drive to the south, Galiran Market provided handicrafts, artworks, traditional fabrics and many more. The most crowded market day falls every three days on pasah (a three-day week based on Balinese calendar). I am amazed especially by the beautiful fabrics sold here.

Piles and piles...

Any color, any style; you choose!

Beautiful Endek woven ( top) , and the Sacred Geringsing woven ( below)
are abundant here, at a very good price!

Last tips: don't forget to bargain: like any other traditional market in Indonesia; bargaining is a must, and you need to be an expert on it!
