Skin Pik Design

Skin Pik Design

  • The Skin Pik design is local to Goroka and symbolises when 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 speaks of independence and empowerment.
  • This Bilum is handwoven from acrylic and wool yarn as well as upcycled knitwear using traditional weaving techniques.
  • Large size body and long strap length.
  • Adornments sold separately

    Our mission is to empower the weavers of Papua New Guinea by generating life-changing income for marginalised women living in underprivileged settlements in Port Moresby. Each Bilum takes around six weeks to make and communicates life stories through pattern and colour.

    From the proceeds the weavers are able to support their families and pay for crucial services such as a school bus which connects students from remote regions to daily learning.
