In The Beginning...
|
Our Story began more then 30 years ago when I found myself living with the
Palinese people. Inspired by their talents and gentle spirit, I started a
small export business. It was a joy to watch my Balinese friends benefit
from selling their handcrafted products to the U.S. Eventually I
returned to the states to raise a family, but Bali lingered in my heart.
Eight Years ago I returned to Bali to begin Asli Arts (Asli means "traditional" or "authentic" in Indonesian). The company had grown far beyond my original dream. We have out grown three warehouses in Washington, expanded our operations to include Vietnam, and developed many new friends and business relationships along the way. Our 2004 collection includes many old favorites, as well as nearly 100 new items. We have created new products categories, including Bamboo Banners™, Shell Door Curtains and Wind chimes, and expanded our use of natural materials to include marble, seashells, and spices. And we've innovated with our old friend coconut to create a new concept in chimes and door curtains using coconut shell discs. This web site reflects our
growth - thanks to our loyal customers, the skill and dedication of our
artisans in Vietnam and Bali, and our staff on Whidbey Island Washington.
2004 finds us expanding our U.S warehouse, adding new suppliers overseas and
growing our product line to include far more than the bamboo wind chimes we
began with.
