Orange and Blue Nylon Bilum

Supporting Female Bilum Weavers

The craft of bilum weaving has been passed down to Papa New Guinean women from their mothers and grandmothers across generations. Bilums not only hold great cultural significance, but they also serve as an opportunity to support women's participation in the local economy.

The Nylon Bilum

The pattern of each bilum tells a unique story - reflecting the current life events of the weaver, their familial and cultural history, and the Province in which they are from.

Being made out of water-resistant nylon, this bilum is perfect for carrying fruit and vegetables, or going to the beach.

Our Cause

Since opening in 2014, Femili PNG has provided over 5,900 survivors of family and sexual violence with access to safe accommodation, law and justice interventions, medical assistance, and more. All bilum sales go directly towards supporting Femili PNG's life-changing services.
