Autumn 25 Captured: Where Time Stands Still
Tucked along the quiet shores of Sanur Beach, Tandjung Sari has been a sanctuary for artists, musicians, and free spirits since the 1960s.
On the quiet shores of Sanur Beach, there exists a place where time moves at its own pace. Tandjung Sari, a hidden gem of Bali, has long been a sanctuary for artists, musicians, and free spirits — a place where the past and present coexist in perfect harmony. Here, amidst the soft sounds of the ocean and the rustling of palms, the boundaries of time dissolve.
It was in the 1960s that Wija Wawo-Runtu, drawn to Bali's tranquil beauty, built what was meant to be his private retreat. Little did he know, this haven would soon attract artists, writers, and visionaries from all corners of the world. Today, Tandjung Sari stands as a tribute to the island's ‘old world’ charm, its heritage preserved through rustic wooden doors, linen-draped verandas, and timeless elegance. The hotel’s rich history is etched into every corner, with whispers of rock stars and cultural icons who once called it home.
For our Autumn '25 collection, Bonita Bonita, we found ourselves in the heart of this dreamlike oasis. The soft glow of the setting sun cast a golden light over our new collection, while the iconic Balinese arches and lush greenery served as the perfect backdrop for a campaign that celebrates effortless style and timeless beauty.
Sixty years after its creation, Tandjung Sari has remained unchanged, its allure unspoiled by towering resorts or the rush of modernity. Instead, it offers a rare invitation to slow down, to pause, and to live in the moment. This quiet escape is a place where the world outside falls away, leaving only the sounds of the ocean and the whispers of an earlier time.
Much like the hotel itself, the Bonita Bonita collection was designed for slow days and stolen moments, a celebration of the spaces between movement, the pauses that make life feel rich and meaningful. The vibrant yet relaxed energy of Bali flows through our collection, just as it flows through Tandjung Sari. It’s a place where the spirit of vintage icons and golden-era style linger in the air, creating an atmosphere that feels as though it has always existed and always will.
