Our Vision

OUR VISION

Our vision at The Bali Tailor, is to create a model that allows our customer to be the designer - to alter, customise & personalise their pieces to something that suits their needs & allows them to feel confident in a piece that reflects their own personal style.  

To design a piece they truly love, and will love and wear forever – we aim to create timeless, quality pieces, rather than adding to the increasing industry that is fast fashion, and moving to a more slower and sustainable view on shopping, investing in pieces that just get better with age. 

Founder and creative Director, Leah Hills, has had many years of experience working with the talented local artisans in Indonesia, and her knowledge in creating designs in both leather and suede, has been passed on to the team that make up The Bali Tailor.

‘We believe that when we shop, we already have a picture in our head of what we want an outfit to look like, and sometimes a piece as it is, just doesn’t quite live up to our expectations - we can fall in love with a piece but with a desire to make subtle changes to make it that of our own - a piece that perfectly reflects and fits in with each individuals shape and style. At The Bali Tailor we work to create this piece with you - a personalised piece made especially for you.’ 

‘In doing this, we hope this vision can also help consumers in a bid to move away from fast fashion and mindless rampant consumerism, to a more ‘slower’ mode of consuming - to a slower and more sustainable view on the whole shopping experience, investing in quality timeless pieces that just get better with age.’

‘For us, we believe it’s not so much about ‘fashion’ or keeping up with the latest ‘trends’ or ‘brand’, but it is about how you feel, and how you can make a person feel, when they are wearing what you have created with them in mind.'

'I always believe a persons style says a lot about who they are, and allowing them to create that in a piece they will love and wear for seasons to come, is so special for us and it’s why we do what we do - there’s a big difference in wearing the piece for yourself than for that of the ‘approval’ of others. Our branding is also kept minimal, as we believe more in the product we produce than that of the ‘brand’ you are wearing.'

We work closely with our team and the work and care that goes into each garment produced from The Bali Tailor is true credit to the talented local artisans working hard to maintain the highest standards of quality and to produce each item within a limited amount of time, customised for you, to bring you a personalised product you will love and wear for years to come.

Our factories are kept small and many of these are family operated business', usually within the comfort of or in close proximity to that of their own families, allowing them flexibility and the comfort of working close to home, which also allows them to work and care for their children where needed.

'As a team we did discuss bringing our factories together under the one roof, but we wanted to honour the way in which our artists felt to be in their best work environment, and it is here at these smaller factories with family, that they wanted to stay and it works really well for us all, so we have kept it this way.'
