The Orange Tapa Flower Earrings by Tania Tupu are the next best thing to wearing a fresh island flower above your ear.

Tania designed the lovely Samoan Siapo (tapa Cloth) flower motif after she was given a flower from the Rev Folasa Tupu Samoa on arrival to Falelima village on the southwest corner of Savai'i in Samoa - home to where the Tupu name comes from.
