NATIVE HAWAIIAN DESIGN

Genealogy or “Moʻokūʻauhau” is a highly valued concept in Hawaiian culture. In the times where the past was recorded via the spoken word, Hawaiians placed high importance on those who could become keepers of family ancestral history.

This design records a snippet of the genealogy of Hāloa the first kanaka maoli (Native Hawaiian) and his parents Wākea of the sky and Hoʻohōkūkalani of the stars. The genealogy is wrapped in a kalo plant to honor Hāloa’s eldest brother Hāloanakalaukapalili (long stalk of the fluttering leaves).

ʻO Wākea ke kāne (Wākea is the man)

ʻO Hoʻohōkūkalani ka wahine (Hoʻohōkūkalani is the woman)

Noho pū lāua (They settle together)

Hānau ʻia ʻo Hāloa. (Hāloa is born)


Sustainability

We've partnered with some stellar organizations who are taking garment printing into the 21st century with DTG (direct-to-garment) printing technology. This means, everything at Maoli is made to order and we don’t have a warehouse full of clothes lying around. This reduces the clothing waste in our business to nearly zero. 

Our eco-friendly water-based inks provide unlimited color combinations and make detailed prints pop without reducing their vibrancy in the wash. Reducing toxicity in the environment is one of our top priorities. 

Whenever possible, we also use organic, recycled, or sustainable fabrics to manufacture our apparel. We aim to make our products good for your body and for the ʻāina (land).

We encourage our customers and our community to demand more from us when it comes to sustainability. Have an idea? Please don’t hesitate to reach out!
