Sulu Blanket Collection

Explore the Collection and the story behind the designs

Sulu Collection

Sulu embodies the warmth of Aiga (family) - love, care, and connection.

From Samoa, with Love

To honor my late father, Lani, who left Samoa as a teenager to build a new life in Aotearoa, New Zealand, these designs reflect the path he charted - facing every challenge with quiet strength and resilience, leaving a lasting impact on our family, community, and beyond.

The word Sulu in Samoan, means to illuminate, light up. It also means to wrap around and embrace - symbolizing the way Dad guides us forward, while surrounding us with his strength and love.

Inspiration

Inspired by the rich symbolism of Samoan artistry and ancestral craftsmanship - from Siapo (tapa cloth), Ie Tōga (fine mats), and Tatau (tattoo) each blanket celebrates the beauty, resilience, and legacy of our heritage.
