Rise Beyond The Reef Reviews

Love the tea towels, colours, patterns, quality and range choice. The toiletries set I purchased as a gift for someone else. It came beautifully presented and gift recipient was thrilled with it said the items were all ‘Devine’. I liked that my purchases were supporting Pacific women and were environmentally sustainable and a reflection of the Pacific culture and gorgeous. They also well priced and arrived speedily. Will recommend and use again.

The two small turtles I had sent to a favourite small person were warmly received. I'm not sure which one is a favourite and sleeps in the bed with her, but she certainly loves them. thank you!

What a wonderful company!! Their customer service is outstanding, and their products are beautifully made. I've bought the ladybugs, the dolphins, and the hand towels. I'm more than pleased with everything; the quality is excellent, and I love supporting the artists who make them. I'm so glad I found you!

Was at the Intercontinental in Fiji and they have cutlery and products from these amazing people at Rise Beyond the Reef - had to check them out and love their handmade things - which were also available at the airport. The tea towels were ordered online and are so vibrant and unique - they are smaller than a usual tea towel but I don’t mind that because they make good spare hand towels too. And it’s so nice to think my purchase supports the people who make the items 😊

Love the quality of the basket and the sarong and the gift wrap with flowers. All very special. I am delighted to have found your website and to be able to support Pasifica families in their own countries. I am telling everyone who I think would like to do this too. Wishing you many blessings at Christmas and always, Sally Hume, Welllington, Aotearoa New Zealand.

I absolutely love the totes, they're sturdy and beautiful. I use them for picnics or just carting a change of clothes when my girls are spending the day at their Grandma's place.

These little dolls are delightful. I have purchased some more to use as gifts in shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child later in the year. I love the thought of helping rural women and their communities.

I purchased this for a friend for Christmas and I could not be happier! The Tote Bag was exactly as was described, had a beautiful feel, lovely print and plenty of room for what she needs. Thank you to your creative artists for making such a genuine product.

I have purchased several items from this business from last year. Their products are all hand made from authentic locally sourced resources. Their customer service is excellent. I will continue to purchase items from them. I recommend this business without concern. Thankyou

An ad popped up in my Facebook NewsFeed...i clicked and did some shopping which I used as Christmas gifts. The handwoven basket is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL basket I have ever seen! And i love bags! This is truly beautiful and practical and I love to think I am buying from a Fijian Community not some big company but real people.

I have two cheeky dolphins, which have been sitting with Christmas lights on a wire lampshade. My daughter in law is from Fiji, so this was a taste of hiome over the festive season. They are still up there, looking jolly !

Love this shop. I actually purchased online from Australia to have two dolls delivered to my nieces in USA. Shipping internationally was easy and they arrived quickly. They loved them, especially the little dresses! Beautiful craftsmanship and each one is unique. Really happy to support this for-purpose business and look forward to getting some home wares for myself in future!

I read in the Sunday Star Times about Rise Beyond the Reef. Our son has Down syndrome and attends Marcellin College in Auckland. I wanted to buy the printed tea towels for his teacher aids and support staff. Last Christmas, I bought the tote back bag with the leather straps for my daughter going overseas. She told me she had a compliment about her beautiful bag at the airport.

im super happy to have this Masi with me in Germany, I'm even happier to have bought it with Rise Beyond the Reef and to know that this money won't be used stupidly... I discovered the site by chance while looking for Polynesian tapas for my tattoo studio. Currently I'm putting money aside for my next order... Today, Too many artists trade in Polynesian art crafts and personally I prefer to deal with the smiles of these Fijian and Tongan mamas rather than these people... Great experience, I high...

This stunning piece hangs where we see it all day. My husband and I love the people we’ve met in four visits to Volivoli Beach and Ra Province. This hanging was my Christmas gift to him. It reminds us of beautiful Fiji and the people who treat us like friends rather than tourists. Continued success and Vinaka!

I’ve bought this pack twice now, as a gift for people in my life who love to cook. The vanilla products are very high quality, and come beautifully presented and packaged. The items came without delay to Brisbane, with good clear communication. Lovely venture!

I come from Papua New Guinea & now living in Australia, I'm always happy to support my Pacific Island sisters. I wish there was also something like this in PNG. I also work in the fashion industry & teach clothing production. Very happy with the quality of the Sarongs. I bought them to sew a garment for myself, will post pics when I have sewn something.

I have paddled outrigger canoes for many years, going to Hawaii to participate in the Molokai to Oahu crossing. The many products that you sell remind me of my many friends in the Pacific Islands. It is good to see some of your many products, tablecloths and runners, pillow covers, napkins, and place mats in my home. They are all well-made and are beautiful. I am also very happy that the proceeds from these sales went to benefit the women of rural Fiji Thank you!

love the laptop pouch. wasnʻt expecting the lauhala weaving to be on the inside so that was exciting to see! It feels pretty thick. my biggest concern is that Iʻll be using it in utah, usa so I hope the dry air there doesnʻt cause the weaving to dry up plenty.

I love these totes. With the different sizes, I pretty much use them for shopping, the beach, my lunch at the office and even on day trips away from home. They are made to carry weight too!

Bigger than the normal cushions, I use mine for a lazy afternoon outdoors reading or watching a movie on the tablet. Loved it so much that we're fighting over the one so I've ordered two more!
