Collection: Ibe (Mat)

The Ibe is a grass mat made from dried, woven pandanus leaves. There are several types of mats and each serves its own purpose from simple floor coverings to ‘na i dabedabe” or a special seat for special occasions such as engagements, weddings, birthdays and funerals. Special mats are also presented as gifts and is usually a sign of wealth in the Fijian culture. Contemporary artisans now weave mats for decorative purposes from table placements to wall hangings.
