About us TATILANI

Talofa! Aloha! Hello! Malo e lelei! Kia ora! Bula Vinaka!

Welcome to the official Tatilani online shop. We are grateful for you being here checking us out, read below for more!

Our brand story: 

7 years ago (March 2017)- we wanted to expand our knowledge, stay occupied and most importantly the fire inside of us as a family that needs to stay burning. So we decided to open "Tatilani Elei" in the printing and design business but in the year of 2020, we created "TATILANI"- our online shop providing goodies, merch and more on our Polynesian Culture.

Nothing comes easy as new business owners and local merchants here in Alaska we understand the struggles, hardships and sometimes quitting seems to be the best option (which is never the option!) but when serving others, there's nothing that beats the feeling of seeing smiles on people's faces and satisfying our customers! LIVE, LOVE AND LAUGH is huge to us and now we're never looking back! 

Our logo:

The three turtles swimming inside represents Tabitha, Tiva and Kayelani (sisters); as for our Samoan culture, turtles are sacred by LAW! We can't harm them, we have to preserve and protect them! It's the same way we see our sisters. The three sharks swimming around the three turtles represents the three guys in our family, Gene, Henry and Herman (brothers) as our duties is to protect our sisters. "Ole i'o ole mata ole tuagane ole tuafafine" translates to "the pupil of the eye of a brother is his sister". #PolyCulture #Family

Special thanks to Epenesa (Mum), both Tatilani and Asumaia is dedicated to our beautiful strong mother. The epitome of hard work and has been the backbone and anchor of the family. Thank you for everything Mum, God Bless and we love you.
