Lulu Yasmine
Designer and founder Luiza Chang presents to us what embodies her identity, European chic with a gentle Asian touch. Born in Sao Paulo from a Brazilian mother and British-Chinese father, Luiza has a smorgasbord of culture on her hands. Expect racks of exotic prints, bohemian chic silks, crepe, voile, and chiffon hanging in the window, inviting you to pop in.

Lily Jean is about hip but elegant streetwear, kidswear, and cocktail party dresses. Not so much of a wild mix if you’re a part of the Bali expat family lifestyle. The Brazilian-European designer lets the season’s fabrics determine the creative direction for collections, resulting in wearable, feminine silhouettes that flutter in the breeze.
Biasa
Meaning ‘ordinary’ in the local tongue, Biasa’s clothing line is far from its meaning. If bold statements are your style, Biasa flirts with the concept of immaculate, timeless pieces and of pushing boundaries. You’ll find the kind of pieces that you can wear for years to come. The Seminyak store doubles as an art and lifestyle haven for long-time shoppers and visitors alike. Once a month on a Saturday, they set up a little dj set and organic food stands in their homely backyard for everyone to enjoy.
Souq
Not your standard lifestyle store, SOUQ translates as ‘marketplace’ in Arabic. It is the conceptual lovechild of Antipodean husband Peter Kemp, who has a wealth of experience in Sydney’s foodie and hospitality scene, and Sophie Gargett, who’s worked on a cashmere brand before moving to Bali. Apart from the striking statements and quirky knick knacks they offer, the chemical-free, sustainably produced and locally sourced ingredients menu at Souq is a definite must-try.
