When i saw the tapa sitting at the opshop, i saw history ready to walk again. This is my love letter to my Samoan roots and the 90s streets that raised my style.
From the fale to the basketball court to the block 🫡
Fa’afetai mo le avanoa 🙏🏽

Thrifting Aotearoa is about more than kākahu. It’s about creativity, sustainability, finding value in what already exists and most importantly it’s about the people.
To everyone who opened their doors, shared their stories (and kākahu), and brought this kaupapa to life - ka nui te mihi ki a koutou.
To everyone who watched, supported, shared, and backed the series along the way - we see you, we appreciate you.
If you’ve been inspired at all by this series - this is your sign to get amongst it. Hit your local op shops, explore, experiment, and give pre-loved pieces a new life.
You never know what you might find ♻️✨
