How It Works

<<Designed For Life In Hawaiʻi>>

We make clothing specifically designed for life in Hawaiʻi.  Special, high quality pieces that function in tropical conditions and reflect the style of the Islands.  Every piece is researched, tested, and re-tested. We pay attention to every detail and search high and low for the best materials. Naturally, these things take time. So rather than operate like a typical brand with a set schedule and seasonal collections, we march to the beat of our own drum.  

Our garments are done in limited run releases, so once they're gone, they're gone.

We do it this way because we believe that good things should be worth the wait. We also do it this way because believe in the Japanese concept of mottainai - that waste is not a good thing. Larger brands typically flood the market with product, knowing that a significant percentage may go unsold and potentially end up in landfills. All of that waste really pains us. With our model, we’re able to all but ensure every item we make actually makes it to someone who will appreciate it.

Thank you so much for your interest. ✌️🤙❤️ from all of us at United Islands.
