Hand-Painted Tahitian Pō Mahana Pareo

37,00 

In Moorea, there is a brief moment between day and night when the sky takes on a vare’au hue, a purple that exists nowhere else, when the hibiscus seem to burn even brighter against the fading light.

This Tahitian pareo captures that moment: the deep purple background, the yellow-orange and red hibiscus flowers that sit on it like embers, the small white flowers floating above. A women’s beach outfit that tells the story of an hour, not just a flower, to be worn at sunset with a Polynesian tiare flower in your ear, as the women of Moorea naturally do.

Pō Mahana, in reo Tahiti, means sweet night. Pō means night.

Mahana means warmth, sun. A name that embodies the paradox of this Tahitian pareo: the depth of purple that calls to the night, the fiery hibiscus that holds back the day. An authentic souvenir of French Polynesia that tells the story of Moorea as much as it wears it.

Moorea at dusk painted on cotton fabric

Hand-painted in Moorea, French Polynesia, directly onto soft cotton voile, without a template or reproduction. The two symmetrical bouquets are freely traced, each petal placed with a sure hand, the warm shades built up color by color on the purple background.

The same care for cotton and color is found in the Polynesian cotton pouch, made in French Polynesia with the same attention to the material. Slight variations may exist from one item to another, which is the mark of a handcrafted piece.

Material & care

  • Material: Cotton voile, special clothing paint
  • Size: 180 x 110 cm
  • Washing: Machine wash at 30° maximum
  • Drying: Air dry or tumble dry on a low setting

The colors visible on your screen may vary slightly depending on your device. The actual purple is intense, deep, and luminous, faithful to the sky of Moorea at dusk. This French Polynesian travel gift is naturally complemented by a French Polynesian coconut monoi oil, for an island ritual that smells and breathes the South Pacific.

This piece complements our collection of polynesian pareo, featuring a light and colorful fabric. Delivery from Moorea, directly from the workshop.
