"In old Polynesia, before the arrival of Europeans no woven fabrics were made, tapa cloth replaced them. Made of different kinds of tree barks it was decorated in several ways. Hand painting or printing of bamboo engraved designs or ferns or other leaves, immersion of the whole tapa in a dye bath, burnishing of the tapa exposure to smoke…Reviving tradition for more than thirty years, Tahiti Art remains faithful to these ancestral printing techniques."

"The largest selection and best prices can be found at the Marché Municipale (City Market) in Papeete on Tahiti. This large tin building houses dozens of stalls selling locally-grown fruits and vegetables, freshly-caught fish, and other foods.
Visitors will also find an endless selection of souvenirs both inside the building and lining the sidewalks that surround it.
Check out the colorful pareos (sarongs), inexpensive shell jewelry, hand-woven handbags, shell buttons, wooden bowls and tikis (figurines of ancient gods), and tiare- (gardenia), coconut-, and vanilla-scented soaps and fragrances. The atmosphere is lively, making shopping on Tahiti fun even for non-shoppers. "

"From the Centre Vaima, walk east along boulevard Pomare, then turn right on rue du Commandant Jean Gilbert (between Banque Socredo and Tahiti Sport) in the Quartier du Commerce. This sort of "Pearl Row" has a number of small jewelry stores specializing in pearls, and some major traders have upstairs offices here. Among the storefront shops is Pai Moana Perles (, owned by Canadian Peter Ringland and American Rick Steger, whose pearl farm at Manihi in the Tuamotus directly supplies this little shop as well as outlets on Moorea and in Hawaii. They do all of their simple but elegant jewelry designs here."
