Striped White Bilum (Pre-Loved)

This is a donated 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 Striped Design

Stripes are one of the simplest yet most popular bilum designs, often signifying unity and the coming together of different paths. The lines can represent rivers, roads, or life’s journey, illustrating how every individual path is part of a greater whole.

Our Cause

Since opening in 2014, Femili PNG has provided over 6,100 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.
