Hand-Painted Tahitian Mā’ohi Pareo

When Polynesian tattoos become textiles

What sets a hand-painted Tahitian pareo apart is the absence of templates, reproductions, or mass production. The colors are applied by hand directly onto the cotton fabric in Moorea, French Polynesia, and each piece is unique. No two pieces are ever exactly alike, just like Polynesian tapa, which come out of the same workshop but each have their own character.

The colors visible on your screen may vary slightly depending on your device. The actual colors are deep, plant-based, and bright, faithful to the natural palette of Moorea. This hand-painted pareo is as beautiful to give as it is to wear, like Polynesian tapa wallets, those unique items that you bring back from Polynesia and can’t find anywhere else.
