Alexandra Dress
Ula Moso'oi
Elegant, timeless, and the signature expression of the collection. The Alexandra Dress showcases Ula Moso'oi, the print that beautifully brings the entire collection together.
Inspired by the artistry of a handwoven ula, Ula Moso'oi celebrates the Moso'oi flower admired throughout Samoa for its timeless beauty and captivating fragrance. Just as every flower is carefully woven into an ula, every element of this print was thoughtfully designed with purpose, creating a piece that embodies Pacific heritage, femininity and refined elegance. As the signature print of the collection, Ula Moso'oi reflects the heart of the story, woven with meaning and worn with pride.
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 side 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.

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.
As the signature print of the collection, Ula Moso'oi represents the beauty of individuality woven into something greater. Inspired by the fragrant Moso'oi flower, every detail was thoughtfully created to honour the artistry of Samoan tradition, where each bloom contributes to a garland that welcomes, celebrates and connects.
Just as the fragrance of the Moso'oi lingers long after the moment has passed, this print is designed to create lasting memories. It is a celebration of Pacific heritage, timeless craftsmanship and the stories we carry with us, made to be 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!
