3 / Vol 15 - Dec 2015 Sourcing Bali News

Dear Friends,

It is my pleasure to bring you the latest news and trends from Sourcing Bali and our supplier partners. 

In this December edition of Sourcing Bali news, I am proud to update you on some new and exciting suppliers, details of new team members, updates of our recent projects, as well as great tips for buying from Bali for business or personal use. 

2015 has been an exciting year albeit a quick one - we can hardly believe that we are just a couple of weeks away from celebrating the new year.  We take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year 2016. 

As always, we are very thankful of your ongoing support... and we look forward to working with you once again next year.

Warmest regards,

Desmond & Crew
 

New Suppliers in Town

We're very excited about the arrival of SOO to Bali.  

This new supplier has a great line of indoor and outdoor designs all in a modern and  contemporary style.  They cleverly combine teak with stainless steel or aluminium to create these very smart products.  

We'll be sending you more of these in due course, but for now, here's a glimpse of what they have to offer.

 

Tarita - New designs

Tarita Furniture is one of Bali's older suppliers of teak and mahogany furniture. They have since moved from their very prominent location on the bypass near to DFS, and have taken up at their Dalung factory. 

With a new design team and fresh management team, they are making some terrific new styles and we are happy to post of few of these for you - we'll soon be loading these to our site, so please watch this space for more details.

Tokoriki Island Resort

We are proud to have once again been called upon by our friends at Tokoriki Island Resort Fiji to assist with their next stage of expansion of their 36 roomed resort. 

This next stage of development includes a complete over-haul of lobby, dining room and bar, as well as some changes to pools, poolside loungers and some touch ups for the rooms. 

As always, it's a pleasure to be working with Tokoriki Island resort, and we look forward to bring you images of the completed product after installation. 

 

 

Barbados at PORT DOUGLAS, QLD - Australia

We were very excited to be asked to assist with the supply of all furniture and accessories for this wonderful new bar / lounge at Port Douglas.  Scheduled to open this week, this new and fabulous venue was fun to work on, with new and funky designs from Michael McCann of Dreamtime Australia Design. 

The installation is underway as I type and we look forward to seeing the final results. Be sure to check them out on facebook. 

Meet the team

We're very happy to welcome some newcomers to our family...  the website has been updated with a new look of images of the team..

We say a warm welcome to Made, as Account Manager - Made joins us with a long history of sourcing in the garment industry as well as other related businesses. 

 

We also say welcome to our new QC crew - Gund De and Made.  Gung De is a recent graduate of university and this is his first entree into the workforce. He is a keen and dedicated fellow and we're happy to have him on board.

Made is no stranger to Sourcing Bali - he and his younger brother Nyoman have been at most of our staff parties since we started the company in 2000.  Made is one of the family that we have supported financially since he was 5. He's now finished school, and has made his dream of joining the company. 

We welcome them all to the family.

The Rains have come !

The rainy / wet season has started with a vengeance with daily rains pouring down.  It's a lovely change from the dry / drought that we've had, but it makes being out and about a little more of a challenge.

If you're planning a visit to Bali for business or personal shopping, please be sure to give us advance notice.  We have had many requests for Jan and Feb, and we're expecting to be busy.  We want to ensure that we have space available to accommodate everyone. 

Holiday Season

We can hardly believe how quickly this year has passed.  Already we are just days away from 2016 -  a new and exciting year ahead. 

Our offices will be closed 24th (half day), 25th, 31st (half day), 1st Jan - re-opening with the full team on board on the 4th of January.  Some of our crew will be on leave over the Christmas period, however we'll still be checking messages / emails. 

If you dont receive any responses - please be sure to email me directly at desmond@sourcing-bali.com - I will be checking mails daily.

 

 

Rupiah rates

Our Indonesian Rupiah continues to provide GREAT opportunities for business or personal orders.  Current rates have been hovering at Rp13.400-13.600 for US$, and Rp9.400-9.600 for AUD$.  It's a great time to take advantage of these great rates. 

Currency rates fluctuate often - be sure to check with us at any time and we'll be pleased to help.
