THE STORY OF LV PRINTS
Talofa Lava!
Our names are Lisa and Vili and we make up the LV Prints team. We are a Samoan owned small business based in Lower Hutt – Wellington. LV Prints was established in October 2020 with the intention of becoming an apparel printing business, however not long after we opened, COVID hit our shores and with that came the nation wide lockdowns. Witnessing the impact, we observed numerous businesses sadly closing their doors.
As the trend of remote work gained prominence, the demand for apparel printing saw a decline.
Despite the unexpected challenges, we remained resilient, adapting our services to the changing landscape.
The lockdowns brought an unexpected silver lining for us, allowing ample time to conduct thorough research and strategically plan for what we truly envisioned for this business. We identified a market void particularly within the Wellington region for event signage. We were confident that once the COVID lockdowns and restrictions eased, the influx of events and the demand for signage would be on the rise.​
​
That brings us to today.
Heading into our 4th year of business, LV Prints has transitioned into a primary focus on event signage, catering to a multitude of special events not only in Wellington but also across Aotearoa New Zealand.
We also continue to provide apparel printing services along with the option for personalised decals.
While we take pride in our designs being current and on trend, what distinguishes us from other signage businesses in our area is the profound influence of our Samoan culture evident in the distinctive designs we create. These traditional patterns and symbols serve as powerful conduits for expressing identity, storytelling and maintaining a deep connection to our heritage. As Pacific Islanders, we understand the significance of events such as weddings and birthdays for our families. Therefore, we aimed to create signage that is not only unique but also incorporates the traditional patterns and symbols of our Pacific Island cultures, adding a touch of cultural richness and authenticity to every special occasion.
Inspired by our passion for creativity, commitment to quality, and understanding of the significance of impactful signage, LV Prints stands ready to transform your vision into reality. We invite you to join us on this journey, and together, let's make your events truly extraordinary.
