Hand-Painted Tahitian Rau Hotu Pareo

37,00 

Certain Polynesian plants occupy space in a way that resembles a statement. The rau, or leaf, spreads wide, veined, sovereign. On this intense pink veil, a craftsman from Moorea has captured all its strength, framed by two orange and purple hibiscus flowers that burn like embers on the fabric.

Rau Hotu evokes the leaf at its peak, the island plant in its most vibrant state.

The fuchsia color is not a background, it is a choice, an affirmation. Among the Polynesian textiles created in the island workshops, those with botanical motifs have a rare ability: they describe a place without needing to name it.

Tahitian Rau Hotu Pareo: One leaf, two hibiscus flowers, and the sparkle of Moorea

The central motif is a sling with precise veins, painted with a brush using a special wash-resistant fabric paint. The artisan has worked with shades of green, from almost yellow to deep green, to give the foliage its natural volume. The two hibiscus flowers, one orange and the other purple, are placed at the ends like two floral exclamation points.

This Tahitian pareo, made in Moorea, French Polynesia, is a unique piece. The slight variations between each piece are the signature of handcrafted work, never twice the same.
It ties at the waist, on the shoulders, or around the bust.

Worn over a swimsuit or slipped into a travel bag, it moves from one use to another with the same fluidity as the wind between palm leaves. Those who love accessories that extend this island universe will find in the pandanus earrings a natural resonance with this plant, which is omnipresent in island culture.
