We were on our way to the Betty Page store in the Gaslamp District in San Diego when, much to our surprise, we passed a tiki store called “Mainlanders”. They say they’re the leader in importing and manufacturing tropical tiki products. They are the direct source for wholesale and specialize in tiki statues, masks, signs, thatch, bamboo and more. I think a lot of their woodwork comes from Indonesia.
We didn’t know where to start looking. So much nice tiki stuff to see. We started at the men’s shirts. Reasonable prices and very good quality fabrics. Also the prints we love, next to the hawaiian flowers they had bamboo and surfboard prints. Cute!Not so much clothing for woman unfortunately. But they’re forgiven, as the Betty Page store is just around the corner :P. Well they had pink flipflops with a huge flower between the toes.
We have a bar in our livingroom. This barstool with a face carved in the back would be perfect! Absolutely. But very inconvenient to take it with us on the plane to Europe. Very nice though.
Lamps and little Hawaiian dancing dashboard dolls.
Don’t you just love those tiki wood art to accesorize your yard. Mask for your livingroom wall, or on the bamboo fence in your yard.
The entrance of Mainlanders Mega Tiki Store in San Diego. Whenever you’re in the neighborhood, visit the store. You’ll be there for hours wondering which mask to choose.
