Cinta Bumi Artisans

earch in Central Sulawesi in 2013, Cinta Bumi Artisans – the embryo – was born.

‘Cinta Bumi’ means ‘love the earth’ in Indonesian. These words were derived from the most basic essences in life; that the love we grow within us and for others are blessed, and when we love and take care of the earth, she will take care of us. Cinta Bumi Artisans was born with a big bundle of passion and purpose: to sustain culture and deep-rooted art by collaborating with local communities, encouraging ecological consciousness and sharing our love of art to others through craftsmanship and innovation in functional and artistic wearable handcrafted products that are produced responsibly in small batches. Our home-based atelier in Bali is filled with unlimited dreams and inspirations circulate within our inter-island community of people who are not only passionate and dedicated in what they do but also deeply care for sustainability – from farmers to natural dyers, from rural weavers to city seamstresses, from ethnobotanists to anthropologists, and from indigenous artisans to contemporary artists. Every collaboration we develop is based on mutual respect and appreciation toward each other’s values, celebrating uniqueness of each individual as equally as honoring the collaborative entity that we create together. We sincerely hope to embody inspired, authentic, and memorable work of art that create positive influence for the people who make them, their culture and the environment, that we present especially for you. With love,
