Bula Trudy, In Fiji buying tapa through middlemen is quite expensive. You might consider buying tapas right from the doorstep of where it is made, mostly these are ladies from villages around Fiji who make and sell it through middlemen who seem to be their only and major markets. The price sours at the hands of middlemen. Do you like Vatulele tapa? I know of a lady who makes and sells tapa from Vatulele in Fiji. She makes all kinds and sizes of tapa for all occassons. She also makes tapa of your choice but mostly with Vatulele designs, as you know all tapa makers preserve their culture through their designs. Vinaka.
