Talofa, Hi everyone, Welcome to the new followers.
It's been a hot minute, so let me re-introduce myself .
My name is Tiana. I am the woman behind the La'ei Designs Brand and all the custom made Ribbon Lei's/Ula Lipine & Kahoas you see on this page.
Yes it's just me, myself and I who you message and interact with, who creates content, sources materials and makes the Leis & Sashes. But I cannot forget the support of my partner, and our 5 children.
This small business was founded in 2022 after creating my daughter, and her best friends Year 6 graduation Lei's/Ula's & Sashes. I officially launched in January 2023 after the attention and enquiries these sets got. And because loved ones encouraged me to make it a business, as there was no one in Australia making matching Lei/Ula & Sash sets, let alone attaching Graduation & Wedding Badges to their Lei's/Ula's which was uniquely different.
I'm honoured to create beautiful keepsakes, and customised items for customers and their loved ones. While upholding a strong cultural tradition and custom as a proud Samoan. That I know many Island nations also share in as well. I'm privileged knowing the Alofa that goes into placing an order, and then creating, and then gifting is full circle.
Thank you for the support, follows and shares. I look forward to creating items, to help you celebrate either your special occasions and milestones or that of loved ones.
