Grass skirts are a vibrant part of Pacific culture, worn by both men and women in traditional dances and celebrations. In the Motuan region of Papua New Guinea, these skirts—known as rami—are made from dyed sago palm fibers and hold deep cultural significance, especially for women. Worn with feathered ubi tiaras, they symbolize identity and tradition. Rami can also be used as decorative adornments on the body or objects. Every Pacific region has its own unique style and meaning behind its grass skirts. Want to bring this tradition to life?
