Our story

Clothing made in the glow of the island sun — for the women who wear it every day.

Founded by Tina in Rarotonga, Teniva O Te Ra began with dresses made for family: for her daughter, her sisters, the aunties at church. Every style is worn and tested by real Pasifika women before it reaches you.

That's why every piece comes in XS through 4XL, and why you'll only ever see real everyday women in our photos — mothers, daughters and friends, curves and all.

Our accessories — rito hats, head eis and woven basket bags — are made by island weavers, keeping traditional Cook Islands craft alive.
