Talofa lava to all our new followers !
Just wanted to give a background story of how this little business came about. This is a special collaboration between Sasina and Faleasi’u bringing you laei direct from Faleasi’u to Melbourne (and hopefully around the world).
We were in Samoa recently for my Mums dearest brothers funeral - during the funeral preps we were referred to the lovely Taliilagi, a seamstress from Faleasi’u who did all our dresses and puletasis (alongside her talented team, her daughters).
My Mum wanted to help expand Lagis market by giving her the opportunity to have her beautiful designs available outside of Samoa as we had many people ask who made our dresses and puletasis. We scouted the markets in and outside of Samoa and I don’t think anyone quite had Lagi’s flare for design.
In Lagi’s sewing room in Faleasi’u, a partnership was formed! From one team of mother and daughters in Melbourne to another in Faleasi’u - we bring you Lita’s Laei.
Lita’s Laei stock white and coloured puletasis, ie faitagas, dresses and hopefully much more to come. We aim to be size inclusive as well as age inclusive offering sizes and designs suitable for the modern day Samoans living outside of Samoa, but also designs your Mum/Dad and Nana/Papa can wear.
Lita’s Laei is available online and instore at 1278 Heatherton Road, Noble Park 🇼🇸
Fa’afetai tele lava, soifua ♥️
