Festive Dressing for New Years Eve
Dreams of glitz and cool Holiday style!

The Italians in Bali exhibit great style when it comes to product, particularly fashion! Bali provides inspiration plus! and there’s no better example to visit three stores that showcase the ultimate in fashion design and quality of fabric.

Milo’s

Known as the ‘Original Prince of Batik Couture, Milo’s designs on luscious silks reflect the isle’s serenity from soft geometric motifs to his outstanding patterns of nature, particularly from his award-winning collection of cultivated orchids.
Milo’s collection reflects a timeless elegance; each season introduces some black and white, subdued color prints to delicious bright color mixes, designs are free flowing creating a silhouette that shows off the natural curves of the body.
Milo is the original designer in Bali to radically develop the Art of the Batik printing process which has brought the Indonesian textile industry to the global market of high fashion. Milo’s enchanting store is a ‘must-visit’ for your shopping trip.

Quarzia

Their tag line goes “We like the idea to make something that goes beyond fashion” which it certainly is! Quazia finds great inspiration in traditional Balinese textiles. After learning the hand woven batik making techniques, they began to develop their own contemporary patterns for fabulous women’s fashion on silk; striking and sensual designs (it’s the silk that does it!) in an abundance of sensational color ways, with a new color collection that has just arrived…. Their beautiful designer sarongs are good enough for a wall hanging! The sweetest pouchy batik purse for evening, an easy to wear collection for men, and cushions and bed covers too, in silk of course! Always an exciting store to shop.
