We are a former jewelry company exec. and a former gift shop manager who met at a gift show, discovered each was weary of the rigors of normal commerce, fell in love, and fell in love with the people and craft of Bali. The result was BaliBooty.com: where we present some of the most interesting, unusual, and/or highest quality of Balinese crafts we’ve found; and want to introduce you to some of the nicest families, who make them.

Our goal is to provide Balinese artisans an outlet while providing you with an opportunity to see and select from what they make. Because we speak the language, and buy from the families themselves, we can offer higher quality craft at prices that eliminate much of the cost of middlemen to you, while helping to insure they get paid a fair price for their life’s training and work.

We hope to avail them of a good living without demanding so much of their time that it takes away from what they have been for many generations, a peaceful people whose lives revolve around their cultural traditions, their art and work, their extended families and village associations.
