Desak Danya and Desak Ebony

"Bali offers an abundance of inspiration, and allows us the freedom to experiment with ideas, seeing them become reality."

Danya and Ebony are sisters who work together in a family venture in batik apparel, which was started by their parents.... "Our father is Balinese and our mother is English, and we were born in Australia because that's were our parents were working at the time," explains Danya. "We feel lucky to have grown up with the best of both worlds, Balinese and English. We know, first-hand, what it means to be bi-cultural.

"We returned to live in Bali when my parents decided to start working with batik apparel. Growing up in Bali was an amazing place to spend our childhood. It really was an idyllic island when we were young. We rode our bikes everywhere and spent every afternoon surfing. My friends would say about me that I'm sensitive, creative, and clumsy.

"I enjoy kick boxing, pilates, the beach, and traveling. In fact one the funniest experiences I've ever had was in Hungary. I kept entering a wrong pin number at the ATM and all of a sudden the doors were locked by bank security on suspicion of card fraud! The matter was cleared up and I was released quite quickly, but at the time I was so distressed and scared – after all I was alone in a foreign country and didn't speak the language. Now I can look back on it and tell the story to people, who usually think it's hilarious!

"Everyone experiences difficult moments in their lives at some point, and I believe that the way we overcome these difficult times is a measure of our strength as a person, and our ability to face adversity. Don't take life too seriously. You will never get out alive."

"Bali is a very special place to me. The customs, ceremonies and day to day life of the Balinese Hindus is mystical, artistic, and vibrant," joins Ebony, who friends describe as a perfectionist, highly organized and a bit of a worry wart. "I love reading, going to the beach, and spending time with my kids.

"My moments of great serenity came with the births of my children. Both of them were a very different experience, but the sense of peace and relief that I felt when they were in my arms compares to nothing else. There was also a great sense of empowerment that came from the experience. Motherhood has made me more responsible and self-sacrificing. My priorities have shifted and mostly revolve around my children's well-being. My decisions are based on how their lives will be affected by the choices I make. They give my life a clearer purpose.

"It's like Gandhi said, 'Life is about trusting your feelings and taking chances. Losing and finding happiness. Appreciating the memories and learning from the past.' I think it is also important to be able to take away a message or a lesson from each of these experiences.

"Since this is a family business, our parents passed on to us their knowledge and skills, even though they had a background in other areas from their previous work experience. Danya has a background in Graphic Design, which she translates to textile design, and I have worked in fashion, PR, and marketing.

"Our inspiration comes from trying to create harmony between current trends and the traditional craft of batik. Bali offers an abundance of inspiration, and allows us the freedom to experiment with ideas, seeing them become reality. The hardest part is probably dealing with the different variables that could potentially arise in the production process, as with everything that is hand crafted.

"We work together on the designs, vision and direction while our team of skilled batik brings our ideas to life. We cover other areas of the business based on each of our strengths – as a family we often work together and feed off each other."

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.

Triple 'Win' Pricing

UNICEF Market offers triple win pricing, where YOU the consumer, Children from around the world, and Artisans all benefit.

WIN # 1 You Save!

Handmade goods from developing nations usually pass through a series of intermediaries before being purchased by retail consumers. Each of these intermediaries adds cost to the product, and that cost is passed on to the customer. UNICEF USA partnered with NOVICA, who works directly with artists through their regional offices in Asia, Africa and Latin America, allowing purchases from UNICEF Market to go directly from the artisans to fulfilling customer orders. By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.

WIN # 2 Children Benefit!

Each item purchased from UNICEF Market will benefit UNICEF's programs that provide lifesaving nutrition, medicine, education, clean water, emergency relief and more to children in need.

You can learn more about UNICEF's work, on About UNICEF.
