In Fiji, the production of bark cloth has never stopped. Nowadays, however, the women only produce it in a few places, such as Lau, Cakaudrove and Vatulele. It ranges from small pieces for sale to large pieces 50 metres long and 5 metres wide. The inner bark of the paper mulberry tree is peeled off, soaked and beaten wide with wooden beaters. Several of these fabrics are then laid on top of each other at the edges and joined and widened by further beating to form a larger fabric.
