History of Joger Bali

In 1980, Joger owner, Joseph Theodorus Wulianadi started his business in an anonymous shop located on Jalan Sulawesi No. 37, Denpasar. At that time, Joseph was selling various handicrafts.

One day, Joseph was asked by the Denpasar Trade Office to immediately name his shop. In order to distinguish Joseph’s shop from other stores. Joseph wanted his shop name to be unique and not marketable. In the end, a brilliant idea came up.

So the name Joger Bali is a combination of, JOseph + GERhard. Gerhard Seeger was a good friend of Joseph in 1970, at the Hotelfachschule Bad Wiessee, West Germany.

Gerhard Seeger was instrumental in starting a t-shirt business with these funny and unique words. In 1981, Gerhard gave Joseph a wedding gift of US$ 20,000 for venture capital. Effective January 19, 1981, the name Joger is used as an official trademark with legal force.

These famous clothes make most tourists interested in reselling them. On average they resell it online and put it on an e-commerce platform. This is against the Joger principle, which can only be purchased at the official Joger store.

This principle is upheld to this day. By only allowing Joger to be purchased in Bali, it has indirectly encouraged people to visit the Island of the Gods. Automatically, the profits belonged not only to Joseph but also to other merchandisers. For this reason, he will never sell his products online.
