Alexandra Dress
Lanu Moana
Sophisticated, graceful, and effortlessly timeless. The Alexandra Dress showcases the tranquil beauty of Lanu Moana, inspired by the endless blues of the Pacific Ocean.
Named after the rich colours of the sea, Lanu Moana reflects the calm strength, depth and beauty of the Pacific that connects our islands and our stories. Like every print in Ula Moso'oi, it was thoughtfully designed to stand beautifully on its own while becoming part of a collection woven together print by print.
Designed with a sleek fitted silhouette, elegant long sleeves and a contemporary high round neckline, the Alexandra Dress offers a refined balance of comfort and sophistication. Crafted in a soft stretch knit with a back split for ease of movement, it's a statement piece made for life's most memorable occasions.
Each MENA print is created in limited quantities, making them truly special. Once this print is sold out, it will not return.
Why You'll Love It
- A flattering fitted maxi silhouette that celebrates your natural shape

The Story
At the heart of Ula Moso'oi is the belief that, just like an ula, every flower has its own beauty, but together they become something even more meaningful.
Inspired by the endless blues of the Pacific, Lanu Moana celebrates the ocean that has connected generations of Pacific people through culture, family and tradition. Thoughtfully designed with its own unique identity, it sits harmoniously alongside every print in the Ula Moso'oi collection bringing depth, elegance and a timeless sense of place.
Like the lingering fragrance of the Moso'oi flower, Alexandra is designed to leave a lasting impression, worn with pride, remembered and treasured.

Loved by our community 💛
Welcome to MENA!
If you're new to MENA you'll quickly notice how much we love colour and vibrant polynesian prints!
We started creating our own designs over 20 years ago to connect us more to our Samoan culture. MENA is named of our mother Mena Loheni who was born and raised in Samoa. She learned how to sew when she was very young and it has been a talent that has helped provide for her family and later on the foundation on which our family enterprise was built. You can read more about our story via the link below. In the meantime we hope you find something here to treasure.
Taking MENA International
We love having the opportunity to showcase our designs as far and wide as possible.
Last year we were thrilled to be able to show at the first ever Utah Pacific Fashion Show. It was a fantastic week of sharing, connecting and being inspired by other Pacific designers and creatives from all over. We've documented all the fun events and behind the scenes fun in our latest blogs so you can read all about in the link below!
