OUR STORY
We are a small family business from Samoa, now based in Auckland, New Zealand.
My husband and I have explored various side businesses over the years, from baking to custom invitations and photography. What started as hobbies often turned into a business venture and we believe those experiences helped lay the foundation for Laumei Leka.
Laumei Leka began as a personal project in 2017, inspired by a desire to create Pacific-inspired baby clothing for our first born son. By 2019, we officially launched the business in Samoa, expanding into elei fabric printing along the way. This year, we are excited to introduce digital products.
My father introduced me to photography, and my mother, a DIY queen, inspired my creative journey. My creativity is deeply rooted in family, with my grandparents also being creative influences. The loss of my parents and grandparents has fueled a desire to connect more deeply with our Samoan and Tongan heritage.
Laumei Leka is a tribute to their memory and a legacy we hope to pass down to our two young boys.
