NATIVE HAWAIIAN DESIGN

Our “Kanaka Maoli” (Native Hawaiian) design celebrates our ancestors who were the first of a long line of indigenous generations that have called Hawaiʻi their home. We come from Polynesian wayfinders, who have voyaged extensively across the Pacific in massive double-hulled canoes. The earliest Kanaka Maoli arrived on the Hawaiian islands from the Marquesas from as early as 300 A.D. Since then, the Hawaiian culture has evolved and flourished into a set of dynamic traditions, languages and oral histories. Wear this design to celebrate the Kanaka Maoli—the true aboriginal people of Hawaiʻi. The term, Kanaka Maoli, literally translates to “native people”.


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!
