alohae is a creative studio and retail brand based on the west coast of Hawai‘i Island. We believe in the power of design to connect people with place. What began as a handful of sketches and screen prints has grown into a collection of premium accessories and artwork that bring island living into everyday life. Founded in Kailua‑Kona, our studio was born from a desire to marry functional products with the modern aesthetics of the Hawaiian archipelago. While our team has grown, we remain committed to hands‑on design, small‑batch production and collaborating with local artisans whenever possible. • Thoughtful design: Every item must balance beauty and function. • Respect for place: Our work draws from the natural and cultural landscapes of Hawai‘i without resorting to stereotypes. • Quality craftsmanship: We partner with skilled makers and use materials selected for longevity. • Community: We aim to uplift our island community through responsible production and giving back. • Transparency: From sourcing to shipping, we share our process honestly. • Craft & Materials: We choose materials that stand up to daily use—soft natural fibers for our textiles, archival inks and substrates for our art, sustainable woods for our sculptures. Our production partners operate with care, using water‑based inks and solar‑powered facilities wherever possible. • Commitment to Hawai‘i: alohae is here to celebrate Hawai‘i. We honor this responsibility by telling authentic and modern stories.
