Bilum & Bilas / Sing Sing Basket
Bilum & Bilas / Sing Sing Basket
In Tok Pisin, 'sing sing' means celebration. This beautiful bag features Bilum & Bilas' signature style bucket bilum with an all-over tassel fringe. It is handcrafted using traditional processes and weaving techniques, starting with processing local ‘rmungus’ tree bark into fibres, through to twisting the fibre strands into string and finally weaving the string into beautiful patterns.

Please note:—-
Every Bilum & Bilas piece is stored in a calico bag with care instructions. If you would like your item gift wrapped also, please add this additional service to your order.
Due to the handmade process and traditional fibres used to create each bilum, imperfections are normal and add to the charm of your piece. Some natural softening and colour changes may occur over time. Further information on how to care for your Bilum & Bilas piece can be found on their website at Care.
