• Established in 1929 by Irving “Eveni” Carruthers of Vailima, our company has woven 96 years of Samoan history into its own—passing from founder to family, from waterfront trading post to the fashion house you know today. Four generations on, the Eveni Carruthers name still welcomes familiar footsteps, whether you live down the road in Apia or across the ocean in Auckland, Brisbane, or Honolulu. If your grandparents once relied on us for everyday island needs, you now carry that same legacy forward each time you step through our doors—proof that almost a century later, one of Samoa’s oldest stores is still a home for Pacific people everywhere.
