AMONG EQUALS is a not-for-profit brand that merges art and fashion with the beauty of traditional Bilum weaving. We are dedicated to providing artisan weavers from Papua New Guinea with a platform to sell their Bilum globally. Our mission is to celebrate and amplify their craft by significantly expanding their market, bringing Bilum to the global fashion market.
The Mountain design tells the story of women who live in the mountains. It speaks of their daily challenges and struggles to sustain their livelihoods – their gardens, their home, everything around them is climbing mountains each and every day.
This Bilum is handwoven from acrylic and wool yarn as well as upcycled knitwear using traditional weaving techniques.
Care: To clean bag, remove pom pom and tassel, cold machine wash and line dry.
Our mission is to empower the weavers of Papua New Guinea by generating life-changing income for marginalised women living in underprivileged settlements in Port Moresby. Each Bilum takes around six weeks to make and communicates life stories through pattern and colour.From the proceeds the weavers are able to support their families and pay for crucial services such as a school bus which connects students from remote regions to daily learning.
