"The traditional tifaifai is a handsewn bedspread and is an integral part of the culture of French Polynesia. Local craftswomen use colorful and lively designs to make these textiles, which are veritable works of art. For many years, they were made for members of the family, or close friends, but their beauty and utility meant that they were much sought after. The craftswomen of the islands now sell them in markets and shops all over French Polynesia." https://www.tahititourisme.com/
