How We Got Started

Here I am, putting the finishing touches to the little aloha shirts I create.  Born & raised in Hawaii, I’ve always had a heart for local things.  It’s a delightful surprise to find these popular year-round with both our visitors and local residents alike!

Each shirt is totally hand-made in my home.  It's a lot of fun decorating them with lei, and mini wooden additions of turtle, paddle, ukulele or the “I {heart} Maui” button.  Wedding shirts have a white dove or “Just Maui’d” button on them. Coconut shell buttons are hand-sewn on each shirt, and a tiny collar label says “Maui” or “Hawaii”.  Each comes with a cord and magnet for optional display.  In the corner of most shirts is a slot where a note, check or money can be rolled and slipped into to personalize it.  The shirt cord can also slip over the neck of a wine bottle, making wine a more lasting gift. 

There are several lines - aloha fabric, Christmas, Retro, Hawaiian cowboy, wedding, Hubba hubba, and memorial. Special orders are accepted.

These are shirts to mark your Maui memories. You will find these boutique-quality shirts in Maui’s nicest gift shops. Light-weight & easily packed.
