Ethical Production

At Tulle and Batiste, we believe beautiful clothing should be created with care, respect and a genuine appreciation for the world around us.

Our commitment goes beyond designing romantic bohemian collections. It extends to the people who bring our ideas to life, the materials we choose and the way we operate our own garment workshop in Bali.

We believe in doing things thoughtfully, remaining close to the making process and continually looking for ways to improve.

Ethically made in our own Bali workshop

One of the things that makes Tulle and Batiste different is that we create our clothing in our own workshop. From design and pattern making to cutting, sewing and finishing, we remain personally involved in the production of our collections.

We do not depend on distant third party manufacturers to create our garments. Instead, we work directly with our own skilled artisans, maintaining a close relationship with the people who make our clothing.

This allows us to oversee quality, support our team and preserve the craftsmanship that has always been central to our label. Meet the makers behind our collections and discover the wonderful people who bring Tulle and Batiste to life.

Our people, our responsibility

We believe ethical fashion begins with treating people fairly. Our team of 44 artisans and colleagues comes from Bali and Java and we are proud of the community we have built together.

We are committed to providing a safe, respectful and supportive working environment where our team is valued for their skills and dedication.

Our employment practices include wages above the applicable legal minimum, overtime compensation, paid leave, health and social security benefits, and compliance with Indonesian employment regulations.

We also believe the smaller moments matter. Celebrating birthdays, spending time together and creating a friendly workplace all contribute to the sense of community we value. For us, the wellbeing of the people who make our clothing is an essential part of the Tulle and Batiste story.

Slow fashion, beautifully considered

We have never believed that beautiful clothing should be disposable. Our collections are designed with a love for timeless silhouettes, romantic details and pieces that can be enjoyed beyond a single season.

We favor thoughtful production and a more personal approach to fashion, encouraging our customers to choose clothing they genuinely love and care for it well.

Our complimentary custom tailoring service on eligible designs is part of that philosophy, helping customers find clothing suited to their individual measurements. Discover more about embracing slow fashion and why we believe beautiful clothing deserves to be treasured.

Fabrics chosen for beauty and comfort

Fabric is at the heart of every Tulle and Batiste collection. We love the softness and beautiful drape of rayon, alongside the natural character of cotton, linen and silk.

Each material offers its own qualities, influencing the way a garment feels, moves and falls against the body.

We also recognise that textile production has environmental impacts. No fabric is entirely without consequence, and we believe responsible choices begin with understanding the materials we use.

As our label evolves, we continue to consider how our fabric choices, production methods and everyday practices can become more thoughtful.

Clothing that celebrates individuality

We believe ethical fashion should also be personal and welcoming. Every woman deserves the opportunity to enjoy beautiful clothing that reflects her own shape, style and individuality.

Our collections offer a variety of feminine silhouettes, while our complimentary custom tailoring service provides additional flexibility on eligible, non-sale designs.

This personal approach reflects our commitment to size inclusive fashion, where individuality is celebrated rather than restricted by standard clothing sizes.

Supporting our Bali community

Bali has given us so much, inspiration, friendship, creativity and a wonderful community of talented people.

We believe it is important to give something back. Over the years, we have supported local initiatives focused on opportunities for women and children, alongside animal welfare and the care of rescued dogs and cats.

These are causes close to our hearts, and they reflect our belief that running a business should involve caring for the community around us. As Tulle and Batiste grows, we hope to continue making a positive contribution to the island we call home.

A journey of continuous improvement

We do not believe responsible fashion is about claiming to be perfect. It is about making considered choices, taking responsibility for our actions and remaining open to improvement.

We are proud of our own Bali workshop, our skilled artisans and the personal relationships behind every garment we create. There will always be more to learn and more we can do, but our values remain the same: respect for people, appreciation for craftsmanship and a love of clothing created with care.
