Samoan tapa is traditionally made by women in the Samoan community, often passed down through generations. The process involves harvesting the bark of the mulberry tree, which is then soaked, beaten, and decorated with natural dyes to create intricate patterns. This craft is not only a form of artistic expression but also a significant cultural practice in Samoan life, used for clothing, wall hangings, and ceremonial occasions.
