Emerging Print: TAPA CLOTH

We've been in the tropics this summer with Hawaiian prints and bright hues everywhere.
Now we move down to the southern pacific; to the islands of Samoa, Fiji and Tonga and discover the Tapa cloth. Vintage inspiration is predominantly in bark and natural hues, while a modern reincarnation could move to brighter colours. Shades will remain tonal within the print, never having too much contrast.
