What is a typical puletasi design in American Samoa?

In American Samoa, the traditional puletasi design consists of a wrap-around skirt, or lavalava, and a coordinating top in the same color or pattern. The puletasi is a traditional two-piece female garment normally worn for dressier occasions, such as cultural events, celebrations and church services.

There are a wide variety of puletasi design styles. Some are single-color with basic designs, while others feature elegant designs, such as hand-painted flowers and symbols of Samoan culture. The puletasi, also called the pea, is worn by girls and women of all ages, and it demonstrates the creativity and vibrancy of the Samoan people.
