Traditional Polynesian Tapa Design Polyester Fabric # 3 | Islands Fabric

This Traditional Polynesian Tapa Design Polyester Fabric is a vibrant tribute to Pacific heritage, combining the timeless aesthetic of hand-pounded barkcloth with the durability of modern textiles.

Design & Aesthetic

The fabric features a multi-panel "patchwork" style common in Tapa (Kapa) artistry. It incorporates classic motifs such as geometric triangles, sunbursts, and tribal borders. The rich color palette—available in options like Red, Yellow/Red, and Black/Beige—creates a bold, cultural statement perfect for both traditional and contemporary projects.
