Hi, My name is Lee, and I just joined. I collect Vintage Hawaiian, and came across what may/maynot be a vintage tapa shirt. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/IMKLROYTOO/BARK1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/IMKLROYTOO/BARK3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/IMKLROYTOO/BARK4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/IMKLROYTOO/BARK5.jpg I also sell on E-Bay, under the name of jeremy8916, specializing in vintage Hawaiian Pake Mu's, Tea Timers, and Muu Muu's, with a few other vintage items also. The "imprime en France" means the print was applied in France?? TAAROA, I assume, is the company name, and is a polynesian god, which is how I found this forum.(google). The rest of the printing I'm guessing is prolly the designer of the pattern/print on the shirt. ANY information on the age, company origin, or whatever may be of help in identifying this would be greatly appreciated. |
