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.

our mena story

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!
