KMANA
Kmana's mission would be to work in partnership with Indonesian talent — leather artisans, creatives and women weavers — to blend European slow design with traditional crafts. 

Kmana relies on a partnerships-based business model. They source vegetable-tanned leather from family-run tanneries and fabric from women cooperatives in Nusapenida. They also partner with the Bali Life Foundation, whose women weavers build their products. The Role Foundation helps trains these weavers. Kmana, then sells products through their own website and stores, along with online and brick & mortar retail partners. 
​You can buy ANTHILL Fabric's products at their store in Bali or online at https://www.kmanaconcept.com/​

The Story

Kmana was founded in 2018 by Bea Sanz Corella and her husband, Kiko.  Bea's travels led her to Indonesia, where she fell in love with Bali.  She decided to follow her passion for sustainable design, resulting in the creation of Kmana. Bea has supported and connected like-minded international institutions (such as the European Union, the UN and several development banks), NGOs, foundations, as well as organisations and individuals that work towards a better world.

After working with a Balinese–Javanese family of gifted artisans who hand-crafted oversized leather bags for their own travels, visiting friends and acquaintances began ordering their own personal bags and accessories as well. Eventually, their bags started traveling outside of Bali, to Brisbane, Melbourne, Hong Kong and Barcelona.
