Saw you first on FB and what really “sold” me was the social enterprise aspect + then seeing the video. It is all beautifully done, including the turtles. Also like seeing the artist’s name handwritten on the label, a lovely personal touch. It’s great to know a little about the lives of rural women in the islands and a little more about Fiji than fancy hotels and milling tourists (no disrespect!) may you have every success!

We had just been to Figi and my daughter was sad she hadn't picked up a turtle. So glad to give it to her for Christmas to remember our time there

The large is the perfect size…Love these so much! I gifted one to a nephew for his bday & one to a friend who lost a loved one. I loved that it had a tag saying who made it & the info about the village it came from. I also love the idea that purchasing contributes to the village. Would gladly order more stuff from their shop…and already did. :)

I have three of your horses and one turtle and they are delightful! The colors and patterns are fascinating, the craftsmanship is excellent and the manes and tails of the horses are such fun. They can be groomed many ways. My great nieces are having a great time with them. Thank you for your marvelous endeavors.
Mokihana W.
I was so pleased with my first order (two horses) that I ordered two turtles next. They're so cute!! I gave them both as baby gifts, and the recipients really loved them.
The quality of these toys is excellent; the stitching is firm and the patterns of the fabric work beautifully with both the horses and the turtles.
I highly recommend this shop; it's filled with outstanding workmanship, and I love supporting these creative women. My items arrived quickly and were packed with care. I will be ordering again! Thank you.

My family connection with Fiji and my general admiration for the work of women in the Pacific prompted special interest in this collective of highly skilled, creative women. I have now been lucky enough to buy numerous articles, from a beautiful bag used by my Fijian/kiwi granddaughter when she is out with her little baby, to small, exquisitely made bags of health products and a gorgeous turtle that was the hit of all the gifts to my 50 year old son at Christmas! . There are three particular virtues in the work of this collective: imaginative but highly practical designs, attractive fabrics and colours, and above all, perfect work, with faultless quality of design, sewing, finishing. This is an international, as well as a national treasure of women’s work.
Barbara H.
Adorable sea turtle! Looks so cute and the grandkids love it! Beautifully made as well.
