Our Story

For more than seven years, I have been travelling to Bali to source unique pieces for my retail store Coastal Vintage and in more recent years for my wholesale store Coast Imports.

It has taken many years to find those little gems and build strong relationships with suppliers during this time.

The wonderful thing about Bali is with each trip, I discover the latest designs in interiors and source unique pieces both old and new to ship back to Australia. Along the way, I have gained much experience and knowledge about products and made invaluable contacts with suppliers who also give me feedback on new emerging areas to source from in Bali. Each of my trips generally take days and sometimes weeks to source products to fill a container.

The trip will introduce you to suppliers and help you navigate your way around Bali. Whether you’re coming along to be inspired or an introduction into sourcing, this tour will provide you with both.

We will dine at some of the best cafes and restaurants, spend a morning or afternoon at my favourite spa and chill out at one of my favourite clubs.

We will also visit my top picks in homeware stores that provide incredible inspiration of the latest designs and also artisans of some beautiful decor pieces, and we will also visit some of the best warehouses where we will hopefully find those hidden gems.

Whether you just want to come to be inspired or if you wish to learn the in’s & outs of sourcing, and how to ship a container home.

Nothing excites me more than finding all those beautiful things that you love!

    I’m so glad I had someone with such a wealth of local knowledge to show me around.

    Sally took me on a tour while on my first ever trip to Bali, and I’m so glad I had someone with such a wealth of local knowledge to show me around. Sally’s contacts with local suppliers and artisans meant we were able to experience a real side of Bali that not many tourists get to see. I was able to visit the best sourcing stores, meet the best suppliers and experience the best restaurants, bars and spectacular locations. Everything was organised and taken care of - I just sat back and enjoyed the ride. The most memorable parts of the trip was our visit to the Bali Street Mums project, which provides shelter and safety to street mums and their children. Meeting these beautiful women and their children was something I will never forget, and completed the trip perfectly. I would definitely recommend SallyO & Co, not only for a valuable sourcing trip but for a truly unforgettable holiday!

    Sally was a wealth of knowledge and was so generous in sharing this with everyone and introducing us to her contacts.

    The Bali tour was so fabulous. From the moment we arrived, it was calm and beauty. Sally was so warm and welcoming in every aspect of the tour. The small group meant that we could have great conversation and the tour could be customised to our needs. We ate at the most beautiful places and visited a gorgeous day spa, the whole Bali experience!! Sally was a wealth of knowledge and was so generous in sharing this with everyone and introducing us to her contacts. We were so well looked after. It was such a ‘head start’ into the Bali shopping and product sourcing experience. I highly recommend the tour experience if you are sourcing for your business.

  • As a Bali novice, I went on a tour with Sally and was absolutely blown away!

    Sally curated a seamless experience from start to finish, from the wonderful (and cheeky) drivers, 5-star villa, AMAZING restaurants, sourcing and shopping to die for, divine massages and memories that will last a lifetime.

    Highlights for me included visiting the Bali Street Mum safe house and seeing all the amazing work they do and how it all runs, the enchanting La Brisa Beach Club which is straight from a fairytale, The Hanging Gardens of Bali in Ubud and the magical Bodywork’s Bali for the most beautiful and relaxing building and set up I have ever seen.

  • The trip was an absolute delight!

    I had the privilege to be among the first group of women to participate in Sally’s Bali trip for home decor sourcing and shopping. 🛍️. The trip was an absolute delight. From the vibrant markets to the hidden gems, every corner was a treasure trove of inspiration. Our group indulged in exquisite textiles, unique furniture, baskets and pottery. This journey wasn’t just about shopping, it was the start of friendships, creativity and the trill of the hunt for that very unique piece of Bali to bring back home.

    Sally saw to every detail from accommodations, transportation, fantastic food and beverage to providing us with information on wholesale prices, shipping information, and personal contacts with shop owners.

    I would take this trip again in a heartbeat 💗
