We love how TET’s founder works directly with the makers here in Bali, all while tackling the plastic problem and making it look insanely good too!
The vibe is… fashion-forward, on-trend pieces made from recycled plastic – all of which are reversible, can be mixed and matched, and paired with TET’s sustainable clothing, sportswear and accessories made from organic cotton, linen, tercel and organic bamboo.
