Eco traveler. Designer. Mother. Wife. An all round global gypsy. \u00a0Her brand The Eco Gypsy is an online eco travel magazine that caters for the nomads who love an off the beaten track travel experience, but who want to visit destinations that are eco friendly. You can also find the Bazaar on the website which sells global gypsy garments that are nearly 100% eco friendly [and mostly made in Bali]. \u00a0Here we chat to Electra about her love for Bali and what keeps her coming back, and the inspiration behind her successful company.<\/p>\n<h3>Hi Electra. \u00a0So what is it that drew you to Bali,and what keeps you here?<\/h3>\n<p>When I decided to leave London, I found myself in\u00a0Indonesian Papua doing some environmental consulting so I stopped off in Bali to see some old friends. \u00a0I had not been to Bali in about 8\u00a0years but this time it had become more liveable for me &#8211; it was more relaxed, natural and bohemian. \u00a0The island was\u00a0so deeply connected to its culture, and had not become such a shopping mall culture as the rest of South East Asia. \u00a0It was natural but there were still good foreign restaurants and places with a very cool, chilled foreign community. \u00a0My mother is Indian Malaysian and my father Scottish South African, and I was born in Singapore and brought up between there and England mainly, and Bali for me has\u00a0the best balance of Asian &amp; European, as that is basically what I am!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_56871\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56871\" style=\"width: 930px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-56871 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/12\/Rumah-Lokan-House-Bali-.jpg\" alt=\"Electra at one of her Bali properties\" width=\"930\" height=\"550\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/12\/Rumah-Lokan-House-Bali-.jpg 930w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/12\/Rumah-Lokan-House-Bali-.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/12\/Rumah-Lokan-House-Bali-.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 930px;

But it is travelling and learning from the tribes such as the Maasai and Papuans or sea gypsies in the Maldives and Indonesia who know the land or the sea. They have an inherent knowledge of every type of flora and fauna, the survival of indigenous knowledge is vital to the survival of earth I feel. \u00a0My daughter also inspires me to do better, you worry about the state of the planet when she is an adult, hence why she is at the Green School!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_56873\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56873\" style=\"width: 930px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-56873 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/12\/DSC_2652.jpg\" alt=\"Electra is passionate about eco-living\" width=\"930\" height=\"550\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/12\/DSC_2652.jpg 930w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/12\/DSC_2652.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/12\/DSC_2652.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 930px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 930\/550;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-56873\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Electra is passionate about eco-living<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Do you have any tips on how we can enjoy Bali in a sustainable way?<\/h3>\n<p>Bali is a living culture, the environment is not just about trees &#8211; it is about the people. Naturally I would suggest staying in one of our recommended Eco Escapes on the website. \u00a0 These are working towards minimal impact on the environment but also support preservation of land and local communities. \u00a0I think being more aware about Balinese culture (or the culture of anywhere) would help, and show respect for the culture, their land and way of life. \u00a0Also, support the local! \u00a0Buy local and eat local &#8211; yes we all feel like a burger occasionally and that&#8217;s fine, but buy from the artisans and eat the local food.<\/p>\n<h3>You have a beautiful e-boutique on the website, selling The Eco Gypsy Ethical Beachwear.\u00a0 Where do you get your products made?<\/h3>\n<p>Most of the products I have made in Bali. \u00a0Everyone kept asking me where I got pieces in my wardrobe from, so I decided to put together a small beachwear line and sell them online. \u00a0I believe in employing local and I actually knew\u00a0most of the artisans [and their families] personally\u00a0before setting up the brand. We are an ethical brand, so we pay a living page [not the minimum] as it is important to me to know that my workers are being rewarded for the work that they are doing, especially as the cost of living in Bali is rapidily increasing.<\/p>\n<p>We source our shells directly from the sea gypsies and they are all certified under international CITES laws and conventions to prove they are not endangered or farmed. \u00a0We take care with the raw materials we use, like we make peices from sustainable cotton bamboo and have recently started experimenting with spandex made from plastic bottles for swimwear. I never claim to be 100% &#8216;eco&#8217; as to be honest it is practically impossible but we try our hardest.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_56870\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56870\" style=\"width: 930px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-56870 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/12\/Archipelago-Feather-in-Night-.jpg\" alt=\"The cuffs that \" width=\"930\" height=\"550\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/12\/Archipelago-Feather-in-Night-.jpg 930w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/12\/Archipelago-Feather-in-Night-.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/12\/Archipelago-Feather-in-Night-.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 930px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 930\/550;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-56870\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The cuffs that Gwyneth Paltrow and the Victoria Secret models went crazy for!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>You did a collab with Gwyneth Paltrow\u2026 Pretty cool!\u00a0 How did this come about?<\/h3>\n<p>Much as I have a love\/hate relationship with Instagram it was a series of coincidences that ended up on social media. \u00a0After Candice Swanepoel [probably one of the world&#8217;s biggest supermodels for those not in the know!] contacted me for her pairs of ankle cuffs, Victoria&#8217;s Secret got in touch to use them for their 2015 Swim Special and a commercial. \u00a0Alessandra Ambrosio, Behati Prinsloo and Jas Tookes were\u00a0posting\u00a0a lot of behind-the-scenes\u00a0photos wearing the cuffs, and girls in LA started wearing them. \u00a0Gwyneth Paltrow spotted them on a girl wearing some and uploaded a picture to social media, asking the general public who made the cuffs. \u00a0Obviously I sent her a few pairs and Goop invited me a few months later to collaborate on a couple of bespoke styles. I started last year to create The Eco Gypsy X Goop for Summer 16 that went amazingly well.<\/p>\n<h3>And finally, who would you consider to be an \u2018Eco Gypsy\u2019?<\/h3>\n<p>In the 70&#8217;s the way The Gettys &amp; Yves Saint Laurent lived, or the rock and rollers going to India etc was very Eco Gypsy and a big inspiration behind the brand. I am in the wrong era as\u00a0me and my friends could still hang out with the naked hippies in Goa and places and not be all over Instagram. These were the original Eco Gypsies. Living free, nomadic and minimal impact lives in some kind of symbiosis with the locals.<\/p>\n<p>I have a small group of wonderful female friends in Bali, some of which think I am mad with my ideas, but are very supportive. We also have this global family of people who very much share the same way of life as us and philosophy.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_56874\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56874\" style=\"width: 930px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-56874 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/12\/Cocoa-Crop-Pulau-Bikini-Ombak-Leather-Clutch.jpg\" alt=\"Pieces from \" width=\"930\" height=\"550\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/12\/Cocoa-Crop-Pulau-Bikini-Ombak-Leather-Clutch.jpg 930w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/12\/Cocoa-Crop-Pulau-Bikini-Ombak-Leather-Clutch.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/12\/Cocoa-Crop-Pulau-Bikini-Ombak-Leather-Clutch.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 930px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 930\/550;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-56874\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pieces from the Eco Gypsy Bazaar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"color: #fe862c;\"><strong>Electra&#8217;s Insiders Guide to Bali<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Favourite things to do in Bali? \u00a0<\/strong>Go to the beach in Nusa Dua <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecogypsy.net\/gypsy-spots\/bingin\/\">or the Bukit<\/a>, exploring artisanal workshops in local villages, or get in the middle of the bustling Balinese markets in the mornings to buy\u00a0flowers or fabrics!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favourite\u00a0spots to eat? \u00a0<\/strong>Mamasan is definitely top of the list for Seminyak &#8211; it does\u00a0one of the best creme brulee&#8217;s in the world!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favourite places to watch the sunset? \u00a0<\/strong>La Laguna definitely fits my aesthetic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favourite place to shop\u00a0in Bali? \u00a0<\/strong>Periplus book shop.
