I have been buying these bags for years. I live in Fiji and totally support these amazing women and their art. My last one finally wore out and I was so happy to see them back available again. The service was seamless and I use my bag every day. Thank you!!!

The baskets and wall hangings I got from Rise Beyond the Reef are beautiful and do not look like anything else I have seen. The company was easy to deal with and buying from them does good in the world. What could be better?

Very beautiful well made knives. Not super sharp but they're cheese knives so doesn't matter. Just careful not to drop them the shell is delicate, I dropped mine on tile and have had to glue it back together sadly. Still works and looks great though

I purchased several of the pencil cases to fill with candy to give to all my grandchildren for Valentine’s Day. They all loved them. Each child per family received a different color which made it easy for them all to tell who’s was who’s

These tea towels made the most wonderful christmas gifts - with some of my friends saying they were too nice to use as tea towels, and that they would be used as tray clothes in their home !

I've had the small tote bag for a few years and use it constantly, wash it every few weeks and it comes up a treat. I've recently got the medium size one and am love all over again. It fits everything and looks stylish, I get so many compliments. The best part of these bags is that they are washable.

Beautifully cleaned and high quality leaves. So grateful that these are available to me here on the continental United States. I do wish that there was pre-died black or dark brown leaves available. It would be so awesome if that was something we could purchase too.

The green horse figure is a work of art. Well crafted, unique, & under-priced. It was my gift to a tiny premature newborn whose mother loves and rides horses. Now that I’ve seen the figure in person, I want another for myself. Communication from seller was good. Arrived well packaged & timely. Highly recommend you buy the work of and support these talented artisans.

I bought the back pack for my sister in Australia as she liked mine when she came to visit me in Aotearoa. You sent it directly to her and I was able to see the progress of the parcel to its destination. Everyone I know loves it but not all can afford one. Thanks for your great service. Love Rose

Life gets better when you have beautiful crafted serving dishes to place upon the dining table. The salt dish and teaspoon set is a delight and l have received many compliments from family and friends. A must purchase for all of your family celebrations and lovely to support local indigenous communities.

The backpack is amazing. Really great work’! But it is bigger than I thought it would be. Too heavy for my poor old shoulders. I will have to find a big man to give it to,
