Our Story & Artisans
Beginning in Ubud, Bali in 2003.
A union between minimalist Japanese design and generations of Balinese craftsmanship,
crafted to be naturally embraced by your daily rhythm.
kunci is a brand of handcrafted silver jewelry and crochet bags founded in 2003 in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia by a Japanese designer and skilled local artisans. Based on the concept "Beauty is Simplicity", kunci creates timeless, lightweight pieces that naturally integrate into everyday life.
"Beauty is Simplicity"
True beauty lives in unadorned lines.
Rather than excessive decoration, our designs harmonize effortlessly with the wearer’s natural gestures and warm presence.
The surprising lightness when first held, the gentle glide of hand-polished silver against the skin, and the comforting softness of a crochet bag. We believe that effortless everyday comfort is the ultimate expression of simplicity.
