Cutting Pik Bilum Tote by Tama

Cutting Pik Bilum Tote by Tama

  • Cutting Pik Design is a story of inclusivity. A young girl, just 7 or 8, sits at home while her mother prepares the feast. Her mother brings home a small piece of pork, carefully divided for the children. To this girl, her mother — the Skin Pik Meri — is a hero.
  • This Bilum is handwoven from acrylic and wool yarn as well as up-cycled knitwear using traditional weaving techniques.
  • Medium size body and long strap length. 

40cm wide
31cm high
104cm strap length

This Bilum was lovingly woven by Tama Jackson. Tama lives with her husband and son in Fanuifa, a small village in Goroka. Tama uses the income she earns from Bilum to support her family and provide schooling for her son. Her signature pattern is the Kundu design woven in vibrant hues.

To clean your Bilum bag, remove pom pom and tassel and wash on a delicate cycle in cold water. Dry flat in the shade, do not wring or twist.
