IV/Vol 3 - August 2004 High Season Hits

We are pleased to once again bring you the latest news of Bali and Sourcing Bali. 

These past months have been a record busy time for us with many buyers in town over the June - August period, getting ready for Christmas orders as well as a number of new clients / new projects in Fiji, Hawaii, and Saudi Arabia.

We are pleased to have received some great feedback from our many of our older (ahem.. historical) customers.   Sales in the US have been strong and interest in the newly selected ranges have been overwhelmingly positive.

The team at Sourcing Bali continues to work hard to bring you the latest news of 'what's new' - sharing ideas around the globe and bringing you up to date with our suppliers.

We thank you all for your ongoing support of Sourcing Bali and remember, if you have any special requests, please don't hesitate to drop us a line at desmond@sourcing-bali.com

Best regards,
Desmond & Crew
