About Us

We started as two friends from Kauai and California with a love for travel and surf. Together in 2008 we co-founded a small workshop in Bali, Indonesia to manufacture our own boutique ripstop jiu-jitsu gi’s infused with Aloha and Balinese style.

Our batches have always been small and personal, valuing quality over quantity. It starts with sourcing the best raw materials for production, maintaining a high attention to detail, and taking great pride in our work. Nothing compares to the original authenticity of a Kauai Kimono.

The lightweight ripstop travel gi was developed as a tool to aid our own lifestyle needs and has evolved into a favorite for traveling jiujiteiro worldwide. Perfect for training in hot or humid climates, and for those who appreciate true artisanal quality. 

Kauai Kimonos are solely produced in Bali by our small team of talented seamstresses. We are humbled to work alongside a loyal Balinese family over the last decade and hold them in our highest regards. Our gi’s are built strong and will last you many years with proper care. Your generous support also directly affects the lives of the families at work behind this project. Suksma, Bali!
