Lhe word loincloth comes from the Spanish Paño (pagno) which means “piece of cloth” or piece of cloth. It is mainly used in Sub-Saharan Africa and among Indians who cover themselves in different ways, for example from the belt to the knees or from the torso to the ankles.
In Polynesia: We call Tapa the clothes or fabrics in the shape of a loincloth described by European navigators of the nineteenth century made of bark or beaten vegetable fibers (mulberry, pine tree, or kerchief), used in Polynesia (eg: southern Vanuatu, islands Solomon Islands and coasts, North-West of New Guinea…). Ancestors of fabric, tapas testified to the social level of a chief or a tribe. In Tahiti, the chef's house was surrounded by bands of tapas. They had and still have a religious significance (offerings to the gods or used during funerals), or serve as objects of exchange or reconciliation during sacred ceremonies. Of various shapes and sizes, there are also sheets, screens, carpets, mosquito nets, made from "wood fabrics". The sarong is a long loincloth, made of a light fabric worn like a loincloth, or tied above the breasts or possibly above the shoulder or behind the neck. Its use has spread throughout the world as interior and holiday clothing, evoking by their shape and patterns (flowers, plants ...) the paradisiacal images of Tahiti, vahines ... Many designers of Haute Couture and loan- à-porter were inspired by it.
