In Hawaii, on June 1, 2024, Eimeo marked a significant milestone in its global expansion journey with the opening of the Eimeo Boutique Waikiki. The inaugural event, held at the iconic Waikiki Beach Walk, brought together fashion aficionados, cultural ambassadors, and the media for a night of festivities and delights in the local way . The celebration was a harmonious blend of contemporary Polynesian flair and cultural heritage, inviting guests on a sensory voyage through the brand’s unique reverie, turning the shopping experience into a unified celebration of beauty, tradition and connection.
From Moorea to Waikiki
The island of Moorea in French Polynesia has inspired Tahitian designer Moehau to redefine fashion with her brand Eimeo. Drawing inspiration from the pristine beauty of her homeland and natural grace of Polynesian women, Moehau’s designs encapsulate authentic Polynesian essence featuring the classic duo-tone pareo. Today, Eimeo is a leading fashion brand revered in Tahiti and is currently growing on the global market. With the new store in Waikiki, Eimeo aims to share its unique blend of Polynesian heritage and modern sophistication with a broader and more cosmopolitan community.
