Design and Philosophy
Store Theme: Communication
At our core, we are storytellers. These stores give us an opportunity to bring mo‘olelo (stories) to life. Every design choice is rich with meaning, intended to be discovered, experienced and shared.
Storefront
We kept the original facade to protect the integrity of this time-honored building and its location in the Chinatown Historic District.
Handmade Furnishings
Lining the walls of the store are custom-made wooden fixtures and an artisan cash wrap, all of which have been hand-crafted from premium wood and OluKai leather by local craftsman Dae Son of Wood Hi.
Protocol Statement
These engravings honor the Hawaiian tradition of entering a space with respect and positive intention. Each statement is unique and meaningful to its location. We encourage you to talk story with the team to understand the specific intent.
