How we began

Established in 1987 by Bali born Yogi Ngetis and his Australian expatriate wife Jenni, Yogi & Boo commenced trade as a small retail clothing store in Legian Street, Bali, selling both men’s and women’s wear in both traditional Batik fabrics and contemporary Western styles aimed at the developing tourist market.

 

In 1990, a small German fashion company approached Yogi & Boo and requested they manufacture various garments from the locally made Batik fabrics. Promptly, Yogi and Jenni converted their own backyard at their residence in Kuta, into a makeshift factory and managed to produce their first wholesale order with the help of employing local tailors. 

Steady Growth

As orders increased, the makeshift factory was soon properly built as a factory in their backyard as demand increased from international clothing companies to engage Indonesian clothing manufacturers. Later that year, a Swiss company, placed a prominent wholesale order with the company which led to the company purchasing land in Kuta to build their headquarters.

Steadily, the company’s manufacturing export market grew in the 1990s to countries such as Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, Chile, and North America, Canada, Caribbean, French Polynesia.
As each of their five retail stores leases respectively ended, the owners decided to focus solely on clothing production and manufacturing due to high international demand and eventually the owners left the retail sector to concentrate on expanding their international production.

Where
We Are Now

The company employs approximately 110+ staff, and produces annually for various high end to boutique fashion companies. The usual production of the company consists of resort and lifestyle wear, menswear such as street wear and surf wear, unisex exercise apparel, as well as hospitality uniforms and other industry specific apparel.
