    Samoan Ceremony

    Traditionally worn by high chiefs and orators you can wear the Ula Fala (or Pandanus Necklace) for your important occasions and significant events.

     

    Made from the Nut of the Pandanuse Fruit - Ulafala (‘ooh-lah-fah-lah’) The ripe pandanus nuts are sun dried when they are mature and most red and also traditionally colored nut dye would also be added to ensure a vibrant red hue (today red paint is also used). Crimson red is the color of nobility in Traditional Samoa.

     

    When it adorns an individual at a special occasion it is an indication of that persons high status (matai or chief, orator or person of high status or bearing). 

    Since red is the color of blood, it is a powerful color and often associated with danger and courage therefore it’s only fitting that when it is adorned on an individual at a special occasion it is an indication of that persons high status (matai or chief, orator or person of high status or bearing).
