- Bundle of two preparations of fiber made from Konga Tree bark. The bark has been washed, bleached, and shredded to form two types of fiber. The finer, softer, lighter swatch is made into the best quality grass skirts. The darker, coarser preparation is made into slightly less formal wear. The prepared fiber is of pliable texture and forms a coarse weave of almost honey comb-like shape.
