Art you can live in.

Wendy's love of exotic ethnic artwear has been the heart of Bali Isle since 1986. Her world brings together expressive bohemian silhouettes, richly patterned velvets and the enduring beauty of vintage tribal textiles.

From Mucha-inspired dusters and kimonos to sweeping 25-yard bellydance skirts, Kuchi adornments and Banjara tapestry bags, each collection celebrates a different kind of free spirit.

Wendy shares the festival road with her husband, Ras Danny, a roots reggae singer and songwriter from Trenchtown, Jamaica. Her world is woven in velvet and color; his comes alive in song. Together, they follow the music, gather the stories and nurture each other’s dreams—art and rhythm, side by side.

For women who were never meant to blend in.
