Shop til you drop in Apia, Samoa

Like its Island cousins, Samoa’s two main islands are well known for their pristine, uncluttered white sand beaches and glorious sunny weather year-round. Whether you are driving past the southern coastal beaches of Upolu Island or reclining near your resort pool at one of Samoa’s beautiful resorts and holiday hotels, wearing the proper attire and beach wear will help get you into the Island swing of things and keep you looking (and feeling!) cool.

Whether you’re more of a beach bunny working on their tan or a bohemian lounger meditating by the rythmic crashing of the waves, Janet’s presents beach wear and accessories that will totally charm you and speak to your beach loving soul. After all you are on vacation!

At the centre of any beach ensemble is the Samoan sarong or lava lava. Hand printed using eco-friendly dyes on soft cotton, the lava lava is the traditional attire of the islands and is worn everywhere. In an array of cultural motifs and vibrant colours, it is the quintessential beachwear with a Samoan touch. Janet’s holds an assortment of exclusive, locally printed lava lava, each unique in design and overflowing with colour. Not only is the lava lava beautiful to wear but its functionality is limited only by one’s imagination. At two yards long, the lava lava can be used as a wrap in various styles – a skirt, a tube top, a headdress … the design possibilities are endless.

Capturing photos of your beach getaway is always important so one must never forget to pay attention to your beach look with the right outfit, standout sunglasses and footwear. These exclusive items are available at Janet’s main store and Janet’s Resort Stores (Taumeasina Island Resort, Tanoa Tusitala Hotel and Sheraton Aggie Grey’s Hotel Apia Sarongs & Sarongs).
