A Tahitian sarong? Wouldn't you rather have an authentic Tahitian pareo?

A Tahitian Sarong?
The term has often been interchangable with "pareo" in modern popular culture, but each have separate and defining origins.

Wouldn't you rather have an authentic Tahitian Pareo?

Sarongs originated from Java and Malaysia. Decorating the fabric used usually entails a method called "batik" which involves a unique dying process involving applying melted wax in a desired design and hand dipping the fabric in vegetal dyes. The wax resists the dye and a pattern remains once removed. Batik is a method that has been passed down at least 1,000 years from generation to generation. Many of today's sarongs also feature dainty tassles on the edges. Authentic Tahitian pareos do not have this feature.

Our Tahitian pareos are soft, full of vibrant colors and made in the islands by Tahitian aunties. Tahitian and Marquesan motifs along with photo sensitive dyes make Tahitian pareos unique. We have a rainbow of colors to fit any occasion or taste. From light and airy to warm and comfortable. Tahitian pareos can be worn on the beach, in the home, at your luau and even on a casual evening. Choose from our classic Heiva Hibiscus pareo, hand-dyed Mahana pareo and our new Tehani pareo. All three are made in 100% cotton. For those who crave rayon, our Tiare pareo is just the fix.
