About RIMMBA
Rooted in Bali, Woven for the World
"Rimba," meaning "deep forest" or "wild jungle" in Indonesian, evokes a world of untamed beauty, hidden treasures, and profound wisdom. This word, drawn from a cherished childhood story, inspired our founder, Karunia Fischer, to create RIMMBA – a brand that celebrates nature's artistry, honors ancient traditions, and weaves a brighter future for fashion.
A Journey of Discovery and Transformation
For Karunia, the rimba represents more than just a physical landscape; it's a metaphor for our inner journey of self-discovery and transformation. Just as the jungle hides secrets waiting to be uncovered, RIMMBA invites you to explore the depths of your own intuition and embrace a more conscious way of living.
Bali's Heritage, Reimagined
Our garments are a tangible expression of this journey. Handcrafted by skilled Balinese artisans using time-honored techniques, each piece is infused with the spirit of the island and the wisdom of generations past. We use natural dyes derived from native plants, honoring the healing power of nature and the vibrant colors of our homeland.
A Commitment to Regeneration
RIMMBA's commitment extends beyond beautiful garments. We're dedicated to building a regenerative fashion ecosystem that nourishes both people and the planet. From ethical sourcing and fair-trade practices to minimizing waste and supporting regenerative agriculture, we strive to create a positive impact at every step.
Join the RIMMBA Movement
RIMMBA is more than just a brand; it's an invitation to embrace a more conscious and compassionate way of living. We invite you to join us on this journey – to explore the depths of the rimba within, to connect with the mystical spirit of nature, and to celebrate the beauty of sustainable, handcrafted fashion.
When you wear RIMMBA, you're not just wearing a garment; you're wearing a story of heritage, sustainability, and the transformative power of nature.

Weaving together the threads of Bali's rich cultural heritage with her modern design sensibilities, Karunia creates high quality garments that are imbued with natural beauty.
