Sustainability Highlights
Flook’s brand values stand first with Bali, the place where creations are born, and designed by women for women. Here, women lead the intricate, day-to-day crochet work, their art shaping each piece, while men also lend essential skills in the production process. Although they could opt for outsourcing to China for faster turnaround and lower costs, Flook remains steadfast in their commitment to Bali’s hand workers, understanding that such a change would mean losing a part of their soul. This devotion to authenticity is what has brought them success, allowing them to share a story as rich and unique as the island itself.
EMPOWERING LOCAL ARTISANS
Flook is deeply committed to supporting Balinese artisans, prioritizing hand-crochet and traditional craftsmanship over outsourcing to mass-production factories. This dedication ensures fair wages, respect for local talent, and the preservation of cultural heritage.
SLOW FASHION ADVOCACY
Each piece, crafted by hand, takes between 7 to 10 days to complete, emphasizing quality, patience, and artistry over speed. This aligns with Flook's ethos of creating meaningful, lasting designs rather than chasing fast fashion trends.
COMMUNITY COLLABORATIONS
Flook works closely with suppliers and artisans, fostering relationships rooted in mutual respect and kindness. Initiatives like the Flook Foundation and Crochet Academy provide skill development opportunities, especially for women in Bali, empowering them with education and sustainable livelihoods.
SOCIAL IMPACT
Partnerships with organizations like Stella’s Child enable Flook to mentor and inspire local youth, offering hands-on training in fashion design and production while advocating for gender equity and community upliftment.
CONSUMER AWARENESS
Flook promotes mindful consumption, encouraging customers to choose meaningful, high-quality pieces that align with their values and stand the test of time, reducing waste and overconsumption.
