Aloha and welcome to Kealopiko, purveyors of Hawaiian inspired clothing . The clothing on this site is or has on it original art designed by the Kealopiko team: three hapa wahine from Hawaii with a desire to have clothing that is comfortable, beautiful, and truly representative of Hawaii. Why do we make clothing? Because we want to see ourselves and our brothers and sisters walking proudly in images of the things that we treasure as Hawaiians. We want to bring honor to our kupuna. The designs we have created seek to inform and inspire. They are things from the natural, cultural, and historical traditions of Hawaii: our native plants and animals, olelo Hawaii (Hawaiian language), our alii (royalty) and the long and amazing moolelo (story) of our existence in these islands. When designing our clothing, we search out elements of the past and the present that help us to connect to this place and ground us in a sense of things Hawaiian. Part of our mission at Kealopiko is to give back to this place we are so thankful to be from. We do this by donating a portion of our profits to organizations that support cultural education and environmental conservation in Hawaii. Please enjoy your time here and contact us with your questions, comments, or feedback. Mahalo nui. |
