Traditional Polynesian Tapa design Polyester Fabric # 2 | Islands Fabric

• Traditional Polynesian Tapa Print – Heritage & Versatility

  Experience the timeless beauty of the South Pacific with our Traditional Polynesian Tapa design Polyester Fabric # 2. This fabric features intricate geometric patterns inspired by the ancient art of Tapa (or Ngatu), a craft central to the cultural identity of islands such as Tonga, Samoa, and Fiji.

  Historically, Tapa cloth was handmade from the inner bark of mulberry trees and decorated with natural dyes to tell stories of lineage, nature, and community. This print honors that legacy, bringing the bold, symbolic aesthetic of Polynesian "tattoo" motifs to a modern, durable material.
