This manafau is made from strips of natural coloured as well as dyed multicoloured fau. These strips are looped and knotted onto a main piece of fau which is the waistband. There are two layers of the looped technique which makes for a thicker skirt of multiple layers. Directly under the loops, there is a thick waist band of brown and white pueki shells that are sewn on and create a zig-zag pattern of alternating colours. The fau strips from the loops as well as the thick waistband are left to hang loose.
