About The Artisan Mitra Bali was founded in 2003 as a high-quality alternative to the cheap trinkets flooding Bali's tourist market. Led primarily by women, the Design Center aims to revive traditional Balinese cultural legacies and style, while promoting economic empowerment and community well being. Their eco-positive production and conservation principles inspired a reforestation project, where sustainable, rapidly-growing Blalu trees are cultivated - benefiting both the local population and the environment.
