Travel essentials for Maldives by Maldivians - Blog 1

1. Fusilier Tote | Island Bazaar

Yellow back fusilier or [Dhon Noo Mas] as locally called are stunning small fish commonly seen in our shallow reef. For our reef fish series from the 2022 collection we initially hand painted them with watercolour in our studio, and was later digitised and made into patterns. Our tote bags have a zip and an inner pocket and the design on one side. Get it here.

2. Virgin Coconut Oil | Toddy Inc

The secret behind the legendary beauty of Dhon Hiyala is none other than the oil extracted fresh from the coconut palms by Alifulhu himself. The Virgin Coconut Oil gave her ebony hair its magnificent shine and her skin a resplendent glow. The aroma emanating from her left a trail of therapeutic scent. For centuries, our ancestors have replicated this tradition to maintain nourished and healthy skin and hair. We aim to carry that tradition on with Toddy Virgin Coconut Oil. Get it here.
