Measina -
Measina is the Samoan word for treasures of Samoa. While it is usually linked to the culture and language of Samoa, we believe that the word itself incorporates all the treasures that Samoa has to offer. Measina Treasures of Samoa is a social enterprise. The vision of Measina is to increase the markets for manufacturers in Samoa as well as Samoan businesses all over the world. Our wide ranges of products are either made in Samoa, by a Samoan company or support a Samoan cause.
