Penina’s Island Boutique

Penina Island Boutique, situated in Brisbane, Australia, is the embodiment of our family's deep connection to the Pacific islands. Originating from Samoa and Tuvalu, our parents, Kaseina and Barry, along with myself, Tara, my husband Jack, and my brother Ben, have united to create a haven where our longing for home meets the bustling energy of our adopted city.

Driven by the desire to fill the void left by the absence of Pacific island essentials in Australia, we envisioned Penina Island Boutique as a sanctuary where islanders from all corners of the Pacific—Polynesia, Micronesia, Melanesia, and beyond—could find a piece of home. Our brand mission is simple: to bring a taste of the Pasefika to every individual, regardless of their island background or cultural heritage.

With each carefully curated item, we invite you to embark on a sensory journey through the sights, sounds, and flavours of the Pacific. From traditional crafts to culinary delights, Penina Island Boutique is a celebration of diversity, unity, and the enduring spirit of the islands.

Join us in experiencing the warmth, vibrancy, and inclusivity of the Pacific at Penina Island Boutique—a place where every visitor is welcomed with open arms and embraced as part of our extended family.

Measina Treasures of Samoa

Measina Treasures of Samoa are a Samoan aiga owned business. Their mission is to share the treasures of Samoa with the world. 

Measina is the Samoan word for treasures of Samoa. While it is usually linked to the culture and language of Samoa, we believe that the word itself incorporates all the treasures that Samoa has to offer: it's language, it's culture, it's land, it's people and their products. Measina Treasures of Samoa amplify Samoan culture through our online store, workshops and online courses.

 

Ula & Her Brothers


Meet Noelle, the visionary Sāmoan artist who breathes life into Ula&HerBrothers. As she reflects on the journey that brought her here, her story unfolds like the intricate patterns of her linocut prints.

Hailing from Aukilani, Noelle now calls Sydney home, where she has flourished not only as a painter but as a master printmaker for the past five years. However, her artistic evolution isn’t just about the medium – it’s deeply intertwined with her identity as a mother and a woman of Pasifika descent.

When it came time to christen her business, Noelle sought a name that resonated with her essence. And what could be more fitting than Ula&HerBrothers? It’s a nod to her cherished daughter, Ula, and her four adoring brothers, a testament to her role as a mama above all else.

The seeds of Ula&HerBrothers were sown from a simple frustration – the inability to find greeting cards that truly spoke to her soul. Noelle had always crafted her own cards for birthdays, weddings, and special occasions, so she dared to ask herself, “Why not share this with the world?” And share she did, to the delight of many who quickly embraced her unique creations.

From linocut prints to handbound books, wooden jewellery, and textiles, Noelle’s repertoire knows no bounds. Each piece is a labour of love, meticulously carved onto linoleum and carving blocks before being handprinted with care. It’s a process that leaves her hands perpetually stained with ink, a mark of dedication to her craft.

Yet, despite her undeniable talent, Noelle admits that embracing the title of “artist” didn’t come easily. It felt foreign, almost surreal, to acknowledge her own brilliance. But with time and reflection, she has come to accept and embrace it, recognizing that her art is not just a reflection of her talent but also a celebration of her cultural heritage.

    Concern has grown about the questionable ways that unlicensed forex brokers and cryptocurrency investing websites steal money from investors. Several charges from a well-known forex broker cost me about $75,000 a few weeks ago when I attempted to withdraw my cash from the platform. The good news is that a few days later I saw numerous articles on recovering digital and crypto assets in which Mike Levin, the finest recovery specialist, kept appearing, so I got in touch with him. Within three days of my contact, he retrieved all of my money, leaving not a single cent behind. He is unquestionably the greatest and most trustworthy recovery specialist to contact if your cryptocurrency disappears, there are any incomplete crypto transactions, catfish scams, advance fee scams, etc. For exceptional assistance, contact him at proassetrecoveryexpert at gmailcom

    THANKS TO JETWEBSHACKERS

    I’m forever grateful to Jetwebhackers for their remarkable assistance in recovering the $38,540 I had lost to a crypto scam. This amount was meant to cover my husband’s urgent hospital bills, and I was deceived by a fraudster posing as Agent David, who promised me a return of $380,940 – but it was all a scam. Thanks to Jetwebhackers’ expertise and dedication, I was able to recover not only the initial investment but also the profit I was promised. Their help has been a blessing to my family, and we can now focus on my husband’s recovery without financial stress. I highly recommend Jetwebhackers to anyone who has fallen victim to crypto scams. They are professional, efficient, and compassionate. Thank you, Jetwebhackers, for your exceptional service and support during a difficult time!"
