Fijian Handicrafts

Here you can buy everything from the beautiful handmade tapa cloths, native to Fiji & a few nearby indigenous islanders, which can be used as wall hangings, table cloths, place mats, etc., or the native Fijian handwoven floor mats, made from a plant & used in Fiji for everything from walking on to eating on to sleeping on (if you're in some households).

I was told that masks are actually not native to Fiji yet you can have your pick of some here.


If you want to recall the days when Fiji was known as the Cannibal Isles, you can buy some cannibal forks & cannibal bowls. The kava bowls are next to them to help you swallow all that. Or, have a try at some of the weapons used in bygone days such as the neck breaker, head crusher...The Indo-Fijian seen here gave me a history lesson about the usages of such items before the Christian missionaries came from Britain & the U.S. and supposedly civilized & tamed them...Today,despite the State Dept. warnings stemming from the several military coup de tates, most recently in April 2009, any tour guide book will emphasize the wonderful hospitality and Fijian reputation as contenders for being the friendliest people on earth.

For the diva in you, you can always have your own little fashion makeover here but don't expect the modestly dressed natives to look highly upon your choice of some of these female outfits most certainly designed for tourists. Speaking of fashion, now why did 1 of my pads in this dress have to get all out of place & deformed-looking?

Across the road from the store is a beautiful view of the Coral Coast...

If I get enough people expressing an interest, I might start taking drop-ship orders for their products after looking into getting them shipped. Any takers???!!!
