This story is part of our Meet the Makers feature, which was published in our Fall 2023 issue. In Hawai’i, we always try to support local. Whether we’re buying produce from the nearby farmers markets or shopping at the mom-and-pop boutique down the street, it means a lot for us to give back to our Island economy. So check out some of these Hawai’i makers who have started their own businesses from scratch and make products that perfectly encapsulate everything we love about the Islands.
