The story behind the Diamond Design is rich in culture and is held dear to the women of Papua New Guinea. Not only is it a symbol of abundance and prosperity but traditionally in Goroka it is given to a newly wed as a sign of wealth and prosperity for their new married life.

This Bilum was lovingly woven by artisan weaver Florence and is sold with an adornment made of cotton and wood.

This Bilum is medium in size and includes an Aqua Wood Pom Pom tassel.

    Meet the Weaver:
    Artisan weaver, Florence has been vital to the success of Among Equals since its founding and is fiercely passionate about building a platform for the weavers.

  • About The Brand

    Not-For-Profit fashion brand Among Equals was founded by textile designer, Caroline Sherman, in 2015 after she fell in love with the craft of Bilum bags, which were on display at an expo in Sydney. 

    In 2015, Caroline made her first trip to Papua New Guinea to immerse in the weavers' world and view their annual Bilum Festival held in Goroka. During her travels, she met women from different regions and the idea for the Among Equals endeavour was cemented. Today, the brand works with communities across Papua New Guinea, including the Goroka, Mount Hagen, Telefomin and Madang regions, and is proud to count more than 2,000 weavers in its fold.

    Through its trade of Bilum, Among Equals is dedicated to improving the communities' well-being, including funding and construction of Blue Haus, a safe shelter for the weavers to come together, learn and weave.
