Koko & Ki Diary 2023

A diary that is proudly Pasifika.

Designed with Mana & Pride.

Forget the cliche swaying palm trees, hibiscus, and monstera leaves.

Our ancestral roots run deep.

Our traditional mamanu (patterns) and motifs proudly

carry the origin stories of our Samoan and Pasifika culture and identity.

The bold black and white Pasifika-inspired pattern compositions honour bloodlines

and are a modern reimagining of Pasifika pattern design at play.

Our Story.

Born in New Zealand and raised in Australia by Samoan parents, Koko & Ki illustrator/multi-disciplinary designer, and founder cherishes the rich cultural identity her upbringing has instilled in her.

Taking inspiration from her ancestral heritage, Tavao's bold patterns and contemporary Pasifika motif compositions pay homage to her family's history and lineage.

Modern Pasifika Style.

Why a koko & ki diary? 

A busy life is part of a modern lifestyle.

But on ‘island time,’ there’s space to reflect, relax, and breathe…

Inspired by a lack of "modern" Pasifika stationery lifestyle products on the market that reflect our

cultural identity and love for contemporary design, Koko & Ki has created high quality inspiring

Pasifika-style planners that matter to us and keep us connected to our language and culture

while living a balanced and purposeful life.

Our diary gives you the ability to plan your day and provides space for reflection and creative expression.

Journaling can also be highly beneficial physically and emotionally, improving your sense of gratitude and boosting creativity.

All the space in the world to create, dream and build...

Relax. Most diaries rush through each week without any room to record the unexpected moments,

or to create, ideate, contemplate or to scribble down

the workings of every day life as it unfolds.
