OUR STORY
Born from the heartbeat of the Pacific, our brand is a celebration of a beautiful blend. The vibrant and cheeky spirit of Papua New Guinea, and the deep, soulful heritage of Aotearoa (New Zealand).
"Liklik" is the Tok Pisin word for little.
"Mana" is the Maori word for prestige, authority and spiritual power.
Together, they represent the "Little Power" of our tamariki - the small humans who carry strength of their ancestors in every giggle and every cheeky "raskol" moment.
OUR WHY
When our son was born, we wanted him to wear his heritage. We looked for clothes that spoke his languages - the ones that mentioned the "susu" he loves, the "kaikai" that keeps him growing, and the "mana" he carries as a half Maori, half PNG boy.
When we couldn't find them, we decided to create them.
A SMALL BUSINESS MADE WITH BIG LOVE
