TAV
The narrative of TAV belongs to Ellena Tavioni, a proud Cook Islander whose upbringing immersed her in the rich tapestry of legends, mysticism, and exotic flora and fauna that define the Pacific Islands. This cultural heritage not only shaped Ellena’s own spirit but also resonates through generations of her family – a lineage of artisans, carvers, sculptors, painters, and poets who have profoundly influenced her life.

TAV stands as a testament to this heritage. It’s not just a fashion label; it’s a manifestation of the cultural legacy ingrained in Ellena’s being. Drawing inspiration from traditional motifs interwoven with modern elements reflective of Pacific culture, TAV is a beacon of uniqueness.

Operating as a cottage industry, TAV employs Polynesian patterns meticulously carved onto boards by the talented Tavioni family artists. Each garment undergoes a painstaking process of block printing, painting, and dip dyeing, all meticulously executed by hand. These techniques are applied to a variety of natural fibers such as cotton, silk, and linen, as well as blends like Lycra and rayon, ensuring impeccable drape and design.

The beauty of TAV lies in its artisanal nature; no two garments are alike. Each piece is a labor of love, a homage to the heritage and culture that inspired it. Through TAV, Ellena Tavioni invites you to embrace and celebrate the richness of Pacific Island heritage in every thread.
