About the artisans: Kioa is an island in Fiji, purchased by settlers from Vaitupu atoll in Tuvalu, who migrated between 1947 and 1962. Initially, 37 people migrated from Vaitupu to live on Kioa Island; more than 235 people followed within a decade. We aim to support ongoing market access for first, second, and third-generation Kioa artisans to help protect and promote their traditional skills and knowledge.
** Please note with your specific orders from this supplier, the print colours and patterns vary greatly, and we endeavour to keep this site up to date with stock levels and colours patterns, sometimes however we will need to email you some alternate options on a colour or pattern. Know that you are supporting a True Island Initiative, if you had your heart set on a colour/ print, we will refund of course, but we would love you to continue to support and just change your colour preference x
