Some popular Fiji items include Fijian inspired designer T-shirts and 'bula' shirts, carved tanoa bowls, from which the national drink "yaqona" (kava) is mixed and served, Fijian replica war clubs, "cannibal forks" and Fijian combs. Handicraft like Fiji woven baskets and mats, masi (tapa cloth), animal wood carvings and pottery items are best sellers. And, for international fashion buffs, the ubiquitous sulu for men and women is Fiji's all-purpose, one-size-fits-all garment. Women wear them 100 different ways from a beachside wrap to an evening dress while men in Fiji business and government wear them as a day skirt.
Beyond the Fiji hotels and resorts, in our Fiji island towns and cities, you'll find a wide assortment of shops frequented by locals. Fijian shops offering glittering displays of gold jewellery along with cottons and silks are popular among and often owned by our Indian compatriots.

In Nadi Town there is a wide range of shops and boutiques as well as Internet cafes. There are several supermarket chains including Morris Hedstrom, RB Patel and New World which are in all town centres and sell fresh fruit and imported food.
Leading boutique shops include Jack's, Nads and Sogo's that sell a wide range of good quality clothing. Each has an outlet in Nadi, Sigatoka and Suva and most of the larger resorts have one or other. Duty Free shops are stuffed with cameras and other electrical goods at a reasonable price. The two main importers are Tappo and Prouds which are both very sophisticated outlets with slightly higher prices but offer sales support and export handling.
