Our Story 2022

We started aloha Kai in 2016 as a Hawaiian kids and adults clothing brand with the mission to spread the aloha. Aloha Kai means “love of the sea.”

My husband, Puna, was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, and I was born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia. When I was pregnant, Puna moved to Vancouver to be closer to me and my son Jase. We created aloha Kai shortly after our second son, Kainoa, was born.

Puna, like many Hawaiians, is very proud of his Hawaiian roots. We started aloha Kai to share our love of Hawaii, and at the same time it has allowed us to give back and encourage people to Spread the Aloha

In October 2022, we announced our decision to close the apparel part of our business. We've been called to for some time but we just love the small shop community, which made it difficult for us. We realized that we could use the same platform (Instagram) and website to share offerings that are more aligned with our souls. So aloha Kai although we will not be doing any more clothing, we will still be around!

Aloha Kai is based in Vancouver, British Columbia.
