TETIAROA
The Tetiaroa Collection was born from multiple journeys to Tahiti, a place that became sacred to Emily through different seasons of life.
Tetiaroa embodies a kind of wildness that has become increasingly rare: empty shorelines, forests alive with birds, and reefs filled with quiet, extraordinary beauty. Beneath the water, time seems to slow. Floating among coral and witnessing octopus, sharks, eels, manta rays, and tiny curious pipefish in their own world can feel like a form of reverence.
This collection is an expression of deep connection to place — a small offering to a world that has been lived in, loved, honored, and understood by so many long before.
A portion of proceeds will support Tetiaroa Society and its work protecting the islands and ecosystems that inspired this collection.
The Materials
This collection brings together more grounded, elemental materials: leather, suede, shell, Tahitian pearls, wood, and carved stone. Each carries its own texture and presence — softness against structure, refinement against rawness. There is color, of course, but also earth. Weight. Salt. Skin. Movement. The materials feel tactile and lived-in, shaped as much by feeling as by form. Shell and pearls reflect the sea that inspired the collection, while wood, stone, leather, and suede bring a sense of warmth and connection to the land. Together they create something free and instinctive — less polished in the expected way, and more touched by nature.
“After traveling to Tahiti many times, with many generations of family, and I’ve fallen deeply in love with the richness of its biodiversity—the way every flower, shell, and landscape feels both ancient and alive. Fenua is my homage to that vitality, translating the island’s flora and fauna into pieces that feel elemental, sensual, and enduring.”
