Our signature shirt, the "I don't co-parent with the government" tee-shirt was created by Lauren on a whim, the night before a local sign holding rally in Maui County, Hawaii.

The county had decided to mandate the COVID-19 vaccination for students in order to play sports. A large community response was initiated as residents in Maui County gathered in front of the Department of Education building. Hundreds of residents showed in to hold signs and represent our stance on the matter. It was a peaceful gathering that grew in numbers, enthusiasm and influence over the next few weeks.

As for the "I don't coparent with the government" shirt design, Lauren made it on a whim at midnight after she finished making all her signs for the rally. She couldn't find her screen printing materials so she macgyvered a squeegee with an XL popsicle stick! This was her first attempt at screen printing- ever!

The I don't co-parent with the government shirt received a lot of positive attention during the rallys and Lauren decided to add the shirt to her inventory at Naupaka Store. The demand was so high, she couldn't keep them stock! Lauren would spend hours printing shirts as fast as she could after the kids went to bed and on the weekends when Nick would take the boys out to the Maui Ocean Center or parks to spend the day out. Eventually, the demand was greater than what Lauren could keep up and she hired a local print shop (who shared the same views!) to take care of printing. Phew! We've now sold thousands of shirts and we aren't stopping yet!

We’ve joined the circular fashion movement with AirRobe. Now, you can extend the life of your ethical garments from Naupaka by re-selling or renting your pieces back into a circular economy after you’ve worn and loved them. 

Keeping fashion out of landfill makes sense. It’s good for the planet and good for your purse.

We love to wear our gold wave rings paired with a multitude of rings for an eclectic bohemian look.

We are so excited to launch Made on Kaua'i brand, Kealia Organics handmade natural soaps. We're kicking off this Holiday season with limited edition seasonal soaps!

This year's seasonal artisan soaps include: Orange Clove, Gingerbread, Maple Cinnamon, and Peppermint.

I've spent a lot of time curating the perfect ethically made gift sets for everyone on your wish list. Giving gifts is one of my favorite things to do. I just love thinking about who I am gifting to and their interests. Giving ethically made gifts is one of the best ways to start the conversation about responsible shopping too! It's really neat to say here is this gift, it was ethically made in Ghana!

I know you're SUPER busy and somehow the holiday season has crept up on us already. That's why I thought combining my love for curation and gifting with your need of a one stop shop gifting method that your friends and family will actually want and love.

I know you're incredibly busy this season and I value your time so I'll keep it short and sweet! Below you will find a few of our new gift curations. See the entire collection here. Each gift set ships FREE in the USA, comes sustainably gift wrapped and is marked down to reflect the value of bundling and saving!

I sincerely hope this helps fill the gap and helps you cross some things off your Holiday Shopping List!

Hawaii's economy has been hit especially hard by the crisis at hand. As you can imagine most of our livelihoods rely on tourism whether directly or indirectly. We miss our visitors dearly and hope to welcome them back with Aloha sooner rather than later. In the mean time, please consider supporting your favorite artists and vendors from afar by shopping online, purchasing gift cards or even just sharing their social media posts/websites with your friends! A lot of small businesses are very close to closing due to the shutdown on tourism in Hawaii and Maui County.
