Love the colors and design. Colors did not bleed in the wash, I'm glad. I have a green runner as well. I'm happy to help the people who made these items.

I first visited Fiji last year and fell in love with this company! They have such a great mission. As a Pacific Islander that lives in the US, I miss home and our culture. The woven pandanus bag makes me feel more connected to the Pacific each time I wear it. Thank you!

I am giving the horses to friends for Christmas. We all have horses and ride together. I also have California desert tortoises and love the fabric you make. Knowing these are handmade make them very special . The cards you include with the artist picture and description of making the items is nice to have. Thank you, Janie

I used the bag the first day I got it and haven't stopped. It is the perfect size and very sturdy. The other items are Christmas gifts for my girls so haven't opened them fully. They sure look beautiful though!

I love your story and your products. I have a turtle and a horse of my own. I gave my 3 older granddaughters each one of the pencil bags. Then I got my sis in law a turtle. She loved it! Great gift ideas. Thank you!

I have made a very tiny woven basket with the leaf , I found I did have to soak it for a short time to make it more manageable for the tiny work . I will attempt something bigger when time permits.

My father was born in Fiji, 10 October - Fiji Day. He is on longer with us and I bought the tea towels as the hibiscus was one of his favourite flowers. I bought four, to share with my three sisters.

Absolutely love this gorgeous doll. So beautifully made. Every item I purchased was even better than I expected. I'm ordering more for gifts. Very special to have hand made items from this beautiful community.

Beautiful fabric, bright fresh colours. Washes well. Wrapping paper and flower bow delight people I give presents to. Love the fact that Fijian village women can help themselves and their community with these goods. Definitely recommend their products

I was so excited to receive my 2 Koro Print Turtles. I love Turtles as they remind me of the stories my Mother told me of Fiji when she was growing up. A small piece of Fiji in my home. Absolutely love them. Helping Women in remote communities in Fiji is a wonderful idea and happy to support them. It won't be my last purchase.

I gave the tea towels and table cloth I received for Christmas gifts. My family loved the fact that the purchase went towards helping a local Fijian community. The colours were beautifully vibrant, and quality was great. Thank you

Though the backpack hasn't been used yet because it's a gift for a friend, it looks beautiful and just as pictured (although bigger than I expected, which is a nice thing!). There were some minor shipping delays (very common nowadays!) but it was easy to communicate with Rise Beyond The Reef staff about it and they were apologetic, kind and responsive. I would recommend purchasing from RBTR and based on my experience so far would order from them again!

I love the things I got from you . They mean a lot more to me as I was born in Fiji . I was really happy with the marama doll I got for my little granddaughter for Christmas- she hasn’t got it yet but I’m sure she’ll love it .

I have several of these horses now and even a few sea turtles. They were all meant be Christmas presents but somehow I haven't gotten around to wrapping them yet ;~) They do look really nice on my mantle... and my bookshelves... and the top of my dresser... I'm sure my better nature will kick in any minute now... But seriously, this is a lovely way to support a more remote community that's doing very nice work!

I have a great grand niece who loves horses. She lives a good distance from me but I get to see her at Easter. She is scared of the Easter bunny so I gave her 2 of your horses which we called Easter horses and she loves them both - why not start a new tradition?

I ordered 2 turtles, large and small. Needless to say, they are even cuter than imagined. The fabric is superior, with vibrant colours, and they are well made. Already I am thinking of upcoming birthday purchases! Oh! They arrived in record time!

I have an almost 3 year old great-grand niece and her favorite animal Is the horse. So she got two of your horses for Easter. We will now have the legend of the Easter horse every year. She loved both horses.

I wanted a small bag but one big enough to hold my phone and glasses. This bag is a perfect size. I love the colour, pattern and flax work. It’s Pacifika chic!

I spent many years paddling outrigger canoes in Hawaii and along the Pacific coast of the United States. It is good to again see the colors, designs and prints that graced the homes of the people that I paddled with.

This is the second time I have ordered this item. The first three were given as gifts to my daughters and friend. Everyone loved them and commented on how beautiful they were. So I ordered more. I also like that we are supporting a native women owned company. I am looking forward to ordering more things. These are also great Christmas gifts so I am already starting to stock up! Thanks so much for these beautiful products.
