ELEVATING HAWAIIAN PEOPLE AND CULTURE
Their Mission
The team is made up of Native Hawaiians with a passion for the culture and elevating the people of Hawaiʻi. Their mission is to create a brand which strives to educate the people of Hawaiʻi about Hawaiian language, culture and history through phrases, creative designs, and apparel.
Kuawa, known as Guava, was used to heal deep wounds, cure headaches, and revive a person who had fainted. The uses of Kuawa have inspired the idea of reviving the knowledge of the Hawaiian culture.
Their Impact
Every mailer they use now is completely compostable and fully made out of cornstarch. This is a big step towards their goal to incorporate more sustainability in their business.
