Imagine foothills tufted with swaying coconut palms, waterfalls cascading through emerald green valleys to mountain streams, and waves of exotic flowers in bloom. Such memories stir in many and are stimulated by the... pareo.

Pareos are simple garments worn by nearly all Tahitian men, women and children. How you wear them is limited only by the imagination. Besides being the preferred garment of many, pareos are perhaps the single most apparent folk art in French Polynesia. Find out how it originated and became so popular in Tahiti.
