Lumai is a women's ready-to-wear label based in Auckland, New Zealand by Papua New Guinean born, Dru Douglas. The label offers a predominantly cross-cultural aesthetic, intersecting Papua New Guinean inspirations with Western dress codes which results in a quirky, modern and sophisticated aesthetic with a strong silhouette . The combination, tells a tale of globalization, empowerment, identity and evolving visions of Papua New Guinea.
Part of Lumai's goal is also to give back to the women of Papua New Guinea and the Pacific Islands. We endeavour to collaborate with women's artisanal collectives and help support initiatives in the Pacific Islands that empower women and help make their voices heard.
