The Lava Lava
The 'ie lava lava', or sarong as it's more widely known to Westerners has been a traditional piece of clothing in the Islands tracking as far back as when man first became aware of their naked buttocks and even prior to colonisation by the Europeans in the 18th century.

Initially it was made from bark cloth made from the paper mulberry tree (tapa). When the Pacific opened to trade the tapa was gradually replaced with cotton calico. Woven fabric such as cotton was widely adopted by the Pacific Islands as it was more durable and a lot more comfortable.
Lava lavas require the least amount of effort when it comes to production and manufacturing and became readily available with the influence of China and other Asian countries on the Pacific region.
Even today the humble ie lava lava is the go-to item in a scantly filled wardrobe in the islands and many other parts of the world. It has multiple uses which allows it to replace the need for skirts, pants, shorts, dresses, shawls and even table/bench top covering. It serves as a picnic rug or just something to cover the ground you sit on.
