Slab Interiors is a unique designer and builder of concrete pottery. These stylish painted concrete pots make a great and unique gift that adds a splash of color to one’s home.
- Kim Soo
Everyone loves a cushion cover, right? And there is no better place to buy one than Kim Soo. We love the Monochrome cushions from Kim Soo and they will fit right into anybody’s home.
- The Jungle Trader
One of my favorite gifts from Bali and something I use daily is coconut shell bowls. Handcrafted, lightweight, bio-degradable, sustainable, and compostable. You can also match the bowl with a reusable coconut spoon. This item is an absolute favorite.
- Cisco and The Sun
Cisco and the Sun Ceramics are made entirely by hand by local artisans in Bali and sold at The Slow in Canggu.
- Quince
Not just a great cafe! Quince sells a range of artisanal goods. I love the little napkin sets they sell made from Batik prints – such a great gift from Bali that appreciates the technique and skill of this local craft.

- Zero Waste
Zero Waste is Bali’s first zero-waste bulk store. We love the shampoo bars and think they will make such a good gift due to the fact that they are plastic-free, travel-friendly and also last up to 80 washes.

Cosmo Crew is stylish sustainable kids swimwear. The ‘Bonbon’ Sea & Snow Rash Top is a sustainable hybrid boys and girls rashguard made from Italian recycled fabric. Provides UV 50+ sun protection for sunny seaside adventures or gliding the slopes on a blue-bird day in winter. Perfect gift for any kiddo’s in your life.

Thoughtfully made footwear for your everyday travels and adventures for men & women. Everyone needs a flip flop and what’s better than the most ‘ECO’nomical flip flop in the world – durable, comfortable and affordable!
