Handbags “IEP”

The popular white, finely woven “Kili” bag was originally made on Kili Island by Bikini Islanders who relocated to Kili during the 1950’s. The purses are plaited over wooden molds (“MONAKJANS”) using pandanus leaves for the inside of the bags and finely split coconut fibers for the outside. Hibiscus fibers are sometimes woven in on the outside as a design element. The Kili bag comes in several sizes.
