Our vision started on the backbone of the word Aloha. In Hawaii, Aloha is commonly used as greetings, farewells or an expression of love. But the word means even more, it is a way of life, sometimes called the “Aloha Spirit” or the “Way of Life”. We live in Hawaii and it has been our dream to create handcrafted products to share this way of life with everyone.

Our very first sign was made on reclaimed pallet wood painted white and we glued small wooden letters spelling Aloha, this was a gift for friends visiting from Japan and they wanted to take home a Hawaiian souvenir. This creative project was when our shop was born! We used a wood carving machine to a Cricut Maker cutter, however we have moved on from this process.

We began improving our designs and workflow, every item is handcrafted in-house, we take great pride in our work from start to finish. To our delight our designs were well received and orders started to trickle in, and that was exciting to us. We now use a direct to canvas printer, which enables us to print not only on canvas but to wood, canvas tote bags, onesies and t-shirts.

We love what we do and are constantly researching new products and ideas and strive for quality in our handcrafted work. We hope you feel the Aloha with our products.

We appreciate each and everyone who follows us or have purchased our items!

Mahalo nui loa (thank you very much)!
