Selective HĀ
Our pieces are made with the goal of bringing awareness to our human connectedness and shared hā (breath) through functional garments that are fully embodied.
Everything is created with sustainability in mind, designed here in Hawaii, and either slow sewn on O'ahu or outsourced with attention to optimal working conditions and limited waste. Our Upcycled Collection aims to repurpose materials in quality products and our new pieces are designed and tested slowly with the aim of ideal materials, maximum lifespan and multifunctionality.
Our Wetsuit Buyback Program aims to return outgrown wetsuits to the wear cycle through offering second-hand options and upcycling.
We hope you truly LOVE our garments for many reasons, but also because loved clothing lasts.
Ultrasoft Infant + Kids Wetsuits
A Hawaiʻi necessity that we wanted to share with the world and offer in the smallest sizes. Made and tested by surfer babies and groms on Oʻahu, for all water-loving kids.
Our 1.5mm "bathing suit alternative" wetsuits provide warmth and protection to allow little ones to stay in the water longer. Our 2.5mm wetsuits offer even more protection for a wider range of conditions.
Our wetsuits are sized to last longer than typical infant and children's clothing, with the aim of 1 year of use for baby sizes, and two years of use for kids sizes.
While shopping directly on our website helps our small business the most, you can also find our 5-star rated wetsuits on Amazon and Etsy.
FREE SHIPPING on all wetsuits - yesssaaah!

AUNTIES
Because Aunties.
In Hawai'i as in so many other places around the world, "aunty" is a title used not only by younger blood relatives, but one of affection and respect used by members of all ages of the community towards women. An aunty is who a woman is outside of her home; who she is to the wider world. Aunties make the world a better place. This series of hats, Tʻs and sweatshirts celebrate Aunties, the collective force. (And you don't have to be an aunty to rock the swag!)
SLOW SEWN
Original designs made, cut and sewn in Hawai'i nei with emphasis on multifunctionality.
UPCYCLED COUTURE
Inspired pieces made from discarded threads.
All of my pieces in this collection are sold out. More coming soon!
