Bag
According to Pacific artist Rosanna Raymond this “Tongan handbag reflects modern innovation from traditional basket-making and plaiting or rope making techniques. This style has gone out of fashion but you still see them being made today, this is a great example which would have been made for the tourist trade but no doubt the locals would have loved it as well, it is very well constructed and made from pandanus.”
