I've actually been to Fiji as a child, lovely place for sure. I'd say the best way to go is write these people via the contacts on the sites linked in the article, especially Stalk Market, and they'll either be able to tell you where to get their goods, or point you where to, or a comparable brand in the area. SCA and Baywest are probably wholesale focused, the others too, but start with Stalk Market, which I do recall seeing in retail stores in the US. Good luck, let me know how it goes!

I believe I've seen Stalk Market and Envirobag products in stores. As for the rest, don't recall if they were there. I imagine writing them you could find out. I believe that GreenHome.com carries many of these too, but they are generally large quantity orders. But that could have changed since I was there. That’s a good question.
