Tala Kaftan
Mulberry Muse
Striking, expressive and full of contrast. The Tala Kaftan in Mulberry Muse pairs deep midnight blue with muted indigo, soft neutral detailing and unexpected flashes of vivid red.
Mulberry Muse brings a moodier side to Nuanua, balancing rich colour with bold contrast for a print that immediately draws the eye. Designed in our much-loved Tala Kaftan, its relaxed flowing fit, wide sleeves and full length give the print room to move beautifully.
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
- Deep midnight tones brought to life with vibrant pops of red
- A striking contrast unlike any other print in Nuanua
- Our relaxed Tala shape for an effortlessly elegant fit
- Wide flowing sleeves for ease and movement
- A statement piece that carries beautifully from day into evening
The Story
Nuanua: Crafted in Colour.
Colour has the power to completely change a mood, and Mulberry Muse was created around the beauty of contrast.
Deep midnight and indigo tones form its foundation, while flashes of vivid red Teuila flowers appear throughout, unexpected, confident and impossible to miss. Rather than competing, the colours bring each other to life, creating a print that feels dramatic yet beautifully balanced.
Mulberry Muse represents the bolder side of Nuanua: colour with depth, personality and just enough surprise. A print for those drawn to something a little different.

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!
