Snakes and Ladders rainbow! We've done so many colors over the past year. Which one was your favorite?

We love visiting the @threadsoflifebali dye studio and stumbling across their newest project. This time it was experiments in dyeing paper pulp.

A detail from @madegriyawan’s hand-painted #SnakesandLadders game. BTW he has an exhibition happening right now if you’d like to see what’s he’s been creating recently. Head to his Instagram for more details 🧡

We have a few totes left. Each comes with dice and tokens so you will never be without a game in case of emergency! 😜 DM us or Whatsapp to order.

If you’re just joining us- good luck on winning the @pukucamper giveaway! 🚐 our Snakes and Ladders game is proudly an all Bali product, from the illustrations and story by @mayakerthyasa to all the different makers who have helped bring it to

We’ve been working with @kajimundo to create an even more sustainable version of our #SnakesandLadders. Indigo natural dye screenprint on certified organic cotton canvas. Can’t wait to show you!

The light at the end of the tunnel? No, it’s just @daniela_burr through one of our Snakes & Ladders boxes.

Natural dye 🎨 you should have heard us squeaking when these samples arrived. Incredible work from the @threadsoflifebali studio. That black is insane.
