  • The Skin Pik design is local to Goroka: when women came together to eat, those with higher status were treated to finer parts of the pig, the women of lower status were left to wait. The design is symbolic of independence and empowerment.

  • This Bilum is handwoven from acrylic and wool yarn as well as upcycled knitwear using traditional weaving techniques.

  • Small size body and short strap length.

Artisan weaver Aloma Joel, 29, lives with her husband and three children in Fanuifa, a small village in Goroka. Aloma uses the income she earns from bilum to support her family and provide schooling for her children. Aloma’s signature pattern is the Kundu design, a tribute to her mother who taught her the art of weaving.
