About Bali Parasol
Ilse Duijn's story on starting Bali Parasol
Why did I start BaliParasol.com?
The only reason is: Almost 10 years agao I fell in love with this quality and style. My name is Ilse Duijn, I am Dutch and have been living half of the year in Haarlem (The Netherlands) and half of the year in Marbella (Spain) for many years already. On our pool deck we had two high-quality parasols from Bali and I loved them. Normally under the hot weather conditions in Spain, Balinese parasols only last for a maximum of one season. However, my Balinese parasols were lasting for three seasons already and I decided to buy two more. During that time, the shop only offered the color dark grey and the price was raised to €490 per parasol. At that moment I knew that I wanted to make these unique parasols available on a direct selling base for a larger audience and at a lower price.
