This beautiful placemat set is meticulously crafted by Fijian women using traditional hand-dying practices. Each mat is woven with Sasa (coconut spine fiber) and Voivoi (pandanus) leaves, with a Somo rim dyed in a natural mud dye created through the slow process of burying Voivoi underground for weeks. Resulting in unique color variations for a personal touch, these placemats make a perfect addition to any tabletop.

Rise Beyond the Reef believes that indigenous knowledge and cultures hold the key to the future. You can help protect it. Through purchase, you help invest in the future.

Creating a path of economies of hope and equity for rural remote indigenous women in Fiji: Rise Beyond the Reef’s Traditional Contemporary Arts & Crafts Income-Generating Program has four goals for rural remote indigenous women in Fiji. First, women are given opportunities to develop leadership skills. Second, geographically isolated women crafters earn much-needed income at village-gate. Third, Rise Beyond the Reef helps develop regional and international markets for these goods, and last (but not least), the program helps preserve and promote traditional arts and crafts skills with remote indigenous women in Fiji, Kioa Island and Rotuma.
