Our Philosophy
Kat & Cacao stands for eco-friendly and sustainable products that are in harmony with the planet.
Our mission is to create Conscious Fashion.
We use a natural fibre (Ramie) for all our kimonos, which is healthy on the skin, as well as good for the environment.
Kat & Cacao works with a women-run business and supports local families in Bali.
We donate to social projects that provide clean & safe drinking water for Balinese families.

Our Promise
Natural Plant Dye
We found a local Balinese family that is still dyeing fabric in the traditional way:
They use plants from their garden, which give natural colour in a special process, to dye our kimonos.
Blessed by a Balinese Healer
The creations have gone through a special ceremony where a local ‘Balian’ (healer) has blessed the kimonos in a traditional ritual of prayer and meditation.
Fair Salaries
We make sure that the working conditions for the tailors are decent and the payment is fair. The kimonos are manufactured by incredibly kind Balinese women and we love to support them and their families.
Artisan Hand-Weaving
All of our kimonos are made of the natural fibre ‘Ramie’, and the material has been traditionally hand-woven on an artisan weaving loom.
Kat’s Story
Kat has always loved fashion. She used to make her own red-velvet bags as a teenager.
Her grandmother was a clothes designer, and she taught it to her mother, who passed it on to Kat.
With fashion in her DNA, it is Kat’s purpose to not only make beautiful, high-vibe kimonos, but to also consider the planet and all beings involved in the creation.
