I draw my inspiration from my Tongan roots and ensures that each piece carries my signature motifs. I have established a loyal and diverse client base in the Pacific and growing worldwide especially in Australia, America, UK, Paris and now in the Middle East with my traditionally inspired hand painted prints placed onto rich, regal palettes of silk, satin & Linen.

My name is Bou Fonua and I am the designer behind eponymous Tongan label Bou’s. The use of vibrant colours and bold organic prints are balanced by classic, flattering styles for work, day or evening. The collections are inspired by the natural beauty of Polynesia. Their vision is to take their slice of paradise to the rest of the world. The four sisters each have their own individual styles that they bring to their collections, but something that they all agree on is that fashion should be 'adventurous, fun and feminine'.

Also known as the 'Cradle of Polynesia', Samoa provides an abundance of inspiration for their collections. MENA has a strong focus on the family's Samoan heritage - their collections reflect pride in their heritage and also celebrate the rich, colourful and warm Pacific Island communities. Today MENA has forged ahead with growth selling their pacific inspired range throughout Australasia and the South Pacific. In 2006, the label expanded to NZ to assist with their expansion. With all the triumphs and numerous challenges of their journey together since 2002, MENA is the enterprise which allows Mena Loheni and her four daughters – Agnes, Jackie, Gina & Charlene to be inspired, creative and more importantly, to stay together.Įstablished in Samoa in 2002 MENA dramatically altered the fashion landscape in Samoa where they are a household name.
