South Seas Treasures is situated down the driveway at The Development Bank in Neiafu town, Vava'u and offers the finest traditional artifacts by indigenous People of Tonga and across the Pacific. It follows fair trade practice whilst reviving traditional skills which are at risk of being neglected and lost for posterity.
Arguably the most beautiful handicraft shop in the Friendly Kingdom, and specializes in the finest carvings and pendants in whalebone, Spermwhale tooth and Mammoth ivory.
Part of the proceeds of each sale is being used to obtain and even repatriate precious original Tongan artifacts that will be displayed on the premises and serve as template for the production of high end replicas. |
