Meet the Designers
Puamana Crabbe Designs: Timeless Aloha ‘Āina-Inspired Fashion
Puamana Crabbe’s designs reflect a rich blend of tradition, artistry, and aloha. Mentored by her mother—whom she calls the Hawaiian-style Martha Stewart—Puamana began designing at just eight years old, inspired by Life magazine fashion spreads. She honed her craft by transforming hand-me-downs and sewing for her family, laying the groundwork for her signature appliqué style. Today, Puamana Crabbe Designs continues her legacy of Hawaiian fashion rooted in ancestral knowledge, cultural storytelling, and deep connection to place and spirit.



Princess Kaiulani Fashions: A Legacy of Beauty, Handcrafted in Hawai‘i
Founded in 1959, Princess Kaiulani Fashions preserves the tradition of Hawaiian dressmaking. Each handmade Muʻumuʻu and Holokū honors the legacy of Princess Kaiulani and the spirit of Aloha. Our dresses are heirlooms—cherished across generations and rich with cultural pride. As one of the last traditional makers, we connect past and present through timeless designs.



TAV Pacific: Welcome to the Pacific
TAV was founded by Ellena Tavioni, a Cook Islander inspired by her rich cultural heritage and artistic family legacy. Each piece blends traditional Polynesian motifs with modern design, hand-printed and dyed on natural fabrics like cotton, silk, and linen. No two garments are alike—each is a unique, artisanal expression of Pacific heritage.
