Moana Masks is an idea born out of the global pandemic and put into action by 18 year old Jordyn-Elise Passi. It has become a family affair of creating Pasifika inspired masks.  Amidst these challenging times, we saw the chance to create some colourful, reusable, breathable, Moana mask.

As a Samoan family from Sinamoga & Vaivase Tai living in the beautiful Waitakere, we have loved creating these little gems. It has been therapeutic but even more special as it strengthened our bond as aiga/whanau working together on these Moana masks.  For us also, making our Moana mask is also about representation! As a proud Pasifika family, we love championing our people, the people of the Moana!
