In our part of the world, the days are warm, the flowers are sweet and life is simple. We treasure gathering with family and laughing with friends. Bright red teuila, crystal blue seas and vibrant pink sunrises are our living art.

We draw upon the wonder of our Pacific islands, the design of the tatau and elei, our love for God and the strength of our heritage to create our brand.

TANOA began in American Samoa in 2009, meeting the demand for Samoan/Poly-inspired designs on aloha shirts in sizes and looks our guys needed.  With a background in graphic design, we were able to teach our naturally talented artists how to move from pen and paper to computer and into something that could monetize their skills. That seemed like a long journey ago.  And just as our Pacific ancestors have navigated from shore to shore, TANOA has since set down roots and opened shop in Samoa, New Zealand and Hawaii.  We are grateful and hope to inspire other Pacific people to keep learning and growing.  There’s more to be discovered.
