Bo'i Palu

Introducing the Bo’i Palu collection, inspired by the vibrant culture of domino playing on the ABC-islands.

In the context of domino playing, ‘Bo’i Palu,’ which means ‘under a tree,’ is often used to refer to a specific location or spot where players gather to play the game. This location may actually be under a tree, or could refer to another location that is convenient and comfortable for the players.

In the game of dominoes, players receive a metaphorial ‘sapatu’ (shoe) for every few games they win. The collection’s standout phrase, ‘Sapatu Tra’i Sapatu,’ which means ‘shoe after shoe,’ refers to the act of winning one game after another, continuously achieving greater succes. It embodies the idea that succes is not an overnight achievement, but rather a gradual accumulation of victories, and encourages us to persist in our efforts to achieve our goals.
