Hello - I am looking for contacts in Bali for fair trade manufactures (organic cotton clothing & bags) for my small business.
I would love to support local artisans and crafts people rather than large factories. I am looking for a skilled leather crafts person to make some leather bags and also looking to find a vegetable tanned leather suppler..
I have over 15 years experience in making and producing in Australian fashion, but no idea how to tackle finding these kind of makers (no websites etc) Does anyone know of any agents or anyone that can help me? I understand I need to come over to bali, but am trying to do as much ground work first as I have a baby & will not want to be leaving my family for too long for the first initial sourcing trip.
Would REALLY appreciate any tips on where to start looking!!!
Thank you xx
