THE PUNCH INTERVIEWS
Meet Jin, founder of Moran The Label
Moran is a comfortable clothing line handmade in Bali for natural women.
WHAT’S YOUR NAME & WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
Jin from South Korea.
WHEN & WHY DID YOU LAUNCH MORAN?
The idea came to me in 2019 but I really started working on the label during the Covid pandemic in 2020.
HOW DO YOU CONSIDER YOUR BRAND BEING RESPONSIBLE?
From the fabrics we choose to our production standards and our packaging options, I am always conscious about what we do to be less harmful to mother nature.
HOW DO YOU CHOOSE YOUR BEAUTIFUL FABRICS?
I frequently visit the fabric shops in Bali and see if there’s anything that would suit Moran and if I would wear it myself. Most importantly, I always choose natural and rare fabrics for my collections.
WHAT DOES MORAN ATELIER MEAN TO YOU?
The original. I wanted to re-use and re-create something that works for me and for the space. All the furniture and doors are antique. We made the work table out of shelves we had at home.
I’m so happy to see how it all came out and I love spending time here. This space was create for our guests to come try things on, have a tea and a relaxing time outside of the busy Canggu.

WHAT IS THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME OF THE BRAND?
Moran means peony in Korean. It is one of my favorite summer time blooms. It signifies romance, elegance, honor, wealth and abundance and I hope to share these through my collections.
