This artwork is part of a series of Limited Edition Originals, each painted by hand. Nadi-based artist Maria Rova uses dyes and resist on pure, white silk to create vivid compositions that express her love for Fiji. The wildlife, culture, and scenery of Rova’s South Pacific home are themes that run throughout her award-winning work.

 

The frame surrounding the silk painting is made from traditional Fijian ‘masi’, also called barkcloth. This is hand-crafted by village women on the island of Vatulele. A renewable resource, ‘masi’ is made by harvesting strips of bark from specially grown paper-mulberry trees. Each piece takes day to process, involving repeated pounding, soaking, and stretching. These traditional skills are passed on from generation to generation, with certain clans being considered the experts in masi-making. The uneven quality of the masi reflects its handmade origin.

 

When you are ready to frame your painting, simply peel the backing card off and mount on a colored background of your choice.

 

This time Tai’s freediving trips inspired a fish soap holder. Simple and unmistakeably fishy, this soap holder features 3 draining holes to keep your favourite soap dry.

Frangipani is one of Fiji's native flowers, shown off in this Pink Frangipani painting. There's a lovely story behind the flower, part of Fijian folk tales. This is the story of the Frangipani in the words of the artist:

"Back in the days when our forefathers first landed in Fiji, they came to Viti Levu and from there they dispersed to spread out and fill the land.

One of the family members planned to go up north to Vanua Levu with his wife. Right before they left, the chief (his grandfather) gave him a branch of the Frangipani tree. The chief told the couple "the first place you get to you plant this in remembrance of us."

So the couple left in their canoe, travelling by sea all the way to Vanua Levu with the branch of Frangipani given to them by the chief. 

Vanua Levu, Fiji's second largest island has 3 provinces: Bua (in the west), Macuatu (in the north-east) and Cakaudrove (in the south-east). Bua is actually the place where the couple first inhabited - Bua is the Fijian name for Frangipani. The Bua people in Vanua Levu are said to be the first inhabitants of the island."

Customer Review

"I can personally vouch for the Cocoa Butter Body Balm. I am a factory worker and have tried numerous hand creams and this is the best I have found. All natural, and I barely use any and it goes so far. My hands are now better than ever. Even the packaging of my purchase was beautiful."

These elegant earrings are made from Mother of Pearl shell, with waxed thread weaving the five shells together, finished with sterling silver hoops. The earrings are nestled in a hand-made masi pouch, made out of the inner bark of the paper Mulberry tree.

Masi is a famous Fijian cloth that is beautiful and natural, and complements the MOP shells. A beautiful Fijian treasure, Mother of Pearl earrings coupled with a Masi pouch, ideal as a gift. 

Rako have carefully designed each piece so that the natural Fijian materials used have no customs restrictions. Each piece of Mother of Pearl shell has been carefully processed - this means it has been sanded, oiled and polished. 

The only materials that have customs restrictions are feathers, Clam Shell, Red Vaivai seeds and any other seeds. That's why none of the Rako jewellery range contains these items. These are truly special, hand-made pieces that are unique to Fiji and Rako's Rotuman roots.

This "first press" Virgin Coconut Oil is sourced from a tropical island paradise in the Lau Group of the Fiji Islands - the Bavatu Plantation.

"What makes this Virgin Coconut Oil so special", you might ask? It's the outstanding quality of it, which can be seen in the beautiful coconut aroma, the light texture that absorbs quickly into the skin, the results from using the oil and the feedback we get from those who try it. Smooth, clear skin which glows with health and vitality

Maybe it's because Bavatu Plantation coconuts grow in the Fijian sun, carefully tended to by Fijians who are proven to be the happiest people on earth. Maybe it's the fertile lands, or the relaxed Fiji Time which creates a no stress environment. Maybe it's the breath-taking beauty of Fiji which is somehow infused with magic. Or maybe it's down to the cold hand-pressing of freshly harvested Bavatu Plantation coconuts and the state-of-the-art DME that is used to produce the oil.

At any rate, this Virgin Coconut Oil is the best we've tried, across Fiji and beyond. We've even compared it to VCO from the Philippines which is one of the largest VCO producers in the industry, and Bavatu Plantation came out on top. You can find sweeter smelling VCOs, but these can be overpowering. You can find thicker consistency oils, but these don't absorb so well. And you can find lack-lustre, lower quality oils, which just don't give you the results of healthy glowing skin.

We can honestly say that we've tried several Virgin Coconut Oil's and this is the one we picked for myFijiStore as it's the best of the best.

In addition, we've cooked with this oil and it tastes delicious in recipes such as carrot cake (a guilty pleasure!), curries and even in green tea as a boost for the immune system. There's no doubt that Virgin Coconut Oil has many benefits for both your beauty routine and for cooking, the only question is if you want to try the best Virgin Coconut Oil that's available.

Customer Review

"After countless moisturisers and exfoliating scrubs I had almost given up on treating my dry skin. Then I discovered coconut oil. After watching the Fijian ladies …. and even Fijian men rub this oil into their skin and hair as a daily ritual. I had to try it for myself. I choose Virgin Coconut Oil as I believe is something is so popular then it should be taken right from the source. Within 2 weeks of daily treatment I would say my dry skin is 50% repaired. My only criticism in there wasn’t more in the bottle."

'Sometime Store'

This tea-light candle holder was inspired by Tai of Vanua Clay’s many freediving trips in Lau, Fiji.

This fish is called the Cumu, found close to the coral reef. The Cumu has a very strong head; when its mouth opens the whole body swells.

The Cumu was chosen for the tea-light holder because of it’s shape, which allows a tea-light candle to be placed inside its mouth.

The tea light holder creates a stunning feature for any room; a piece of Fijian marine life to brighten up your home!

The Bucket Bag is so-called because it's simple, stylish and great for holding 'bucket loads of stuff'!

This design features a maroon print with embroidered embellishments sewn into it.

Lovingly crafted, each piece in the RagBags Fiji range is unique, with no two pieces the same. Another inspired creation by 17 year old Anika Taylor from Suva, who set up RagBags Fiji as part of a school project. 

Like the Melanesian design, this design started off with a triangle but then evolved. Notice how the design is always symmetrical. It’s based on the tapa/masi print found in Fijian wall hangings. A modern take on a traditional design - an instant reminder of Fiji.

There are three draining holes that will ensure your soap is kept dry between uses – no more gloopy mess!

Fiji’s national flower, the legendary Tagimoucia, is said to have sprouted from the tears of a tribal princess who had fled her island village rather than be forced to marry a chief she did not love. This beautiful creeper, with its festoons of bright red and white flowers, grows only on the isolated slopes of extinct volcanoes in northern Fiji. The spiral wave motifs have been drawn with coral sand brought home from one of Fiji’s palm-fringed beaches.

 

Fijian ‘masi’, also called barkcloth, is produced by village women on islands such as Vatulele. A renewable resource, masi is made by harvesting strips of bark from specially grown paper-mulberry trees. Each piece takes days to process, involving repeated pounding, soaking and stretching. These traditional skills are passed on from generation to generation, with certain clans being considered the experts in masi-making. The uneven quality of the masi reflects its handmade origin.

 

Maria Rova lives in Nadi, Fiji. Her artwork is inspired by the wildlife, culture, and scenery of the Pacific, especially that of the remote island of Taveuni to the north of the Fiji group, which is home to her husband’s traditional clan. Sustained by forest and reef, Taveuni villagers still follow many of the ancient cultural practices that give Fijian people their unique identity. The artist wishes to acknowledge gratefully the impact that her Fijian family has had on her work.

Each bar is lovingly handcrafted before it takes its final journey to you.

This painting was inspired by a boat trip to the Yasawa Islands in Western Fiji. Jutting up out of a turquoise sea, the tips of volcanic mountains form a dramatic skyline. Shown here are Kuata, Waya Lailai, and Waya. The reefs fringing these remote islands are teaming with an amazing array of sea creatures. The sight of a school of spinner dolphins, leaping playfully through the waves, is always a special thrill!

This painting is inspired by the artist's love of Fijian sunsets. Epi often cycles to Wailoaloa beach in Nadi, just to watch the spectacular colours unfold over the horizon. In Suva too, Epi noticed on the sea wall that there are lots of couples watching the sunset. Everyone sitting in pairs, young lovers, older couples, and this happened every day. People flocked to watch - sunset love birds.

There is something beautiful about sunsets and lovers in general. For this particular piece, people who are in love can relate to it. Epi said "I actually painted the sun because I love sunsets. Then I thought to have the silhouette of the birds, two birds who are close and cosy to each other. Husband and wife, partners, lovers". 

Epi Dakua is a Nadi-based artist, having worked with Maria Rova at Sigavou Studios for 7 years. Epi has worked as a freelancer on many art projects like murals and commission orders for hotels such as Tokoriki Sheraton and the cultural centre where he produced pieces of Indian and Fijian cultural fusion.

This exfoliating soap has a wonderful aroma, due to the clove essence and lemon used to make it. The soap has a rich lather and is great for use on rough skin such as feet, elbows and knees.

Give it a try but be gentle - the loofah is a great exfoliator so go easy the first few uses.

This painting is one of a pair, celebrating emblems of Fiji’s forests and seas. Traditional legends feature many of the animals found in Fiji’s reefs, explaining how they got there, or attributing magical powers to them. One of the spirits worshiped by ancient Fijians was a sea snake, revered as especially powerful. Turtles, on the other hand, were symbols of good luck, bringing blessings to those who encountered them!

A renewable resource, masi is made by harvesting strips of bark from specially grown paper-mulberry trees. Each piece takes days to process, involving repeated pounding, soaking and stretching.

Loofahs are a great natural product to use for skin brushing. You can use it to dry-brush your skin before a bath or shower, which stimulates your lymph system and aids lymphatic drainage.

It helps to get the blood flowing to bring oxygen to your cells and remove toxins - perfect for when you've been sitting still for a while and need to stimulate your system!

Alternatively, you can use it damp in the bath/shower if you prefer, to exfoliate dry skin and get to those hard-to-reach areas such as your back.

When used regularly, it can be an effective anti-cellulite treatment, but skin should be dry-brushed at least 3 times a week to start seeing results.

What is a Loofah?

Loofah is a plant in the cucumber family. It is a vine with lovely beautiful yellow flowers that is very much loved by bees. A loofah sponge’s coarse texture helps with skin polishing. A fully developed fruit is very fibrous and is used as a natural body sponge.

The plant grows at the SeaStarz Naturals home in the Fiji Islands. All Loofahs are hand-picked, hand-cleaned and washed and dried under the Fijian sky in the warm sunshine.

How to use

Loofah is a great natural tool to work on cellulite areas: dry brush with loofah (upward movements toward the heart) vigorously daily and finish with hot and cold shower.

This painting was inspired by a recent story in our local newspaper: For the last twenty years, the Fiji Ground Frog or “Boto Ni Viti” (Platymantis vitianus) was presumed extinct as a result of the invasion of mongoose and giant toads. However, it has just been rediscovered in the dense rainforests of the Nakauvadra Range. The Boto Ni Viti, one of two native species of frogs, is a great athlete, capable of leaping and swimming at speed. The patterns on my frogs are inspired by traditional Fijian barkcloth designs.

Vanua Clay Fiji is run by husband-and-wife team Taito and Lavenia, who bring their designs to life using the medium of pottery. This turtle (Vonu) wall hanging is inspired by one of the many turtles that Tai has seen whilst spearfishing in the tropical waters of his home.  

The turtle wall hanging can be mounted on a wall using a nail or string, attached through the custom-made hole on the turtle’s right side. This piece is a lovely reminder of the wonderful marine life that can be seen in abundance in Fiji’s waters.

Tai is from Matuku island in the Lau Group of Fiji, a remote group right on the eastern edge. There are no schools on the island, so everyone moves to Viti Levu for education. There are many trips back to the village in Lau, where Tai spends most of his time in the water, freediving and catching fish for his family.
