In our recent blog posts, we've had the incredible opportunity to shine a spotlight on the creative landscape of some Samoan-owned businesses based in Australia and New Zealand, each a beacon of our vibrant culture and cherished values. Today, our journey takes us closer to home as we turn our attention to the successful businesses flourishing right in the heart of the motherland. Join us as we celebrate these 5 homegrown enterprises, each a testament to the resilience and creativity of our Samoan community.
This and That Samoa
At This N That, they see their endeavour as more than just a business—it's a tribute to love, creativity, and sustainability. Operating from their home-based workshop, they breathe new life into old treasures, crafting meaningful pieces inspired by their late mother, Tavai. Each creation serves as a poignant reminder of her enduring love and legacy, guiding them on a journey of honouring the past while embracing the future.
With each piece, they pour their hearts into infusing purpose and meaning. Driven by a strong commitment to sustainability, they actively repurpose and upcycle old items, striving for zero waste. Through their creations, they extend an invitation for others to join them in commemorating Tavai's memory and experiencing the beauty of crafting with love. You can browse their collections via their Facebook page here.
