We have a limited edition of our Founder Series Tees.
Be the first to wear Manulua organic tees before the year ends.
​
100% of profits from this range will go into designing the functional wear for conservation groups in the Pacific Islands.
We're in the business to help save and equip the Pacific Islands.
At Manulua, we acknowledge that all those living in the Pacific are under threat of losing their livelihoods and pristine lands due to adverse effects in climate change. We aim to use the resources we have - our business, our team, our investments, our voice and imagination to do something about it.
​
Manulua has grown out of a drive to see those who work in conservation and are based in the Pacific Islands to be well equipped to do their job. Our people living in the islands deserve the best resources and Manulua has its sight set to help make that happen.
​
We also have a passion to connect those who desire to connect back to the Pacific, but are not based in the islands. It's part of our vision to bring two groups of peoples together: one group being the those who are on the ground in the islands working in conservation and climate adaptation, and the second group being those who are not living in the Pacific but want to be connected and be part of saving and equipping the Pacific Islands. This is reflected in our name, Manulua, which means two birds in Samoan. The two birds represent those two peoples who will come together to focus on a common cause.
​
​
This is a Pacific Island centric long term project. When you buy something from Manulua you are investing into equipping those in the Islands who are fighting climate change.
To do this well we need a cool plan for the future. For that reason we have set some milestones that we have set for ourselves. However, before we get to them, we want to mention the most meaningful portion of our plan to us.
At this stage we are committing 100% of profits to providing high functional, high quality clothing to grass-roots conservation groups in the Pacific islands for free. These groups help restore the environment, prepare for rising sea levels and increased hurricanes and cyclones so their nation can adapt accordingly.
This commitment is unwavering and will take place whether we sell 1 tee or 10,000.

We are a small team with a big vision. You could say we are in start up mode. Right now, we are a brother and sister duo. We expect to grow, and as we do so will our team.
This can't be a one man band and we will need great people who share the same vision and values to enable Manulua to achieve its mission: to save and equip the Pacific Islands.
