What to bring back from Wallis & Futuna Islands

Traditional arts and crafts go back to time immemorial in both Wallis and Futuna, with traditions specific to each island. Ideal gifts and souvenirs to take home include tanoas (kava bowls), miniature spears or sculptures and items woven from palm or pandanus leaves, such as fans, bags and mats. You will also bring back Tamanu oil, prized for its unique virtues, coconut oil with scents of tiaré and pandanus, and why not, our traditional fragrance, the Tui Tui !

Or why not have a traditional costume or kolufato made for you, hand-dyed and made to measure?

When you leave, you’ll be carrying barkcloth bags or passport covers, wearing a necklace of Pacific Ocean shells around your neck… and taking home memories to treasure forever!
