Nice sticker!
These are really nicely done! I love the Puakenikeni flowers stickers a lot! Especially the Hologram made one! I will definitely be ordering more of these stylin stickers! Do they come in scratch and sniff?! Lol 🤣 I wish!
Love the Makuahine pattern! The holoholo bags have become my go-to's for just about everything. I would love to see the crossbody option on all of the larger bags. Mahalo for putting so much thought and aloha into your products.
Loved the colors and items. I don't think I can part with these items! I loved that this is a perfect travel set with the blanket and pillow.

Love my Kinohi “Haaheo” black and orange backpack and matching tote. Totally, me!! Mahalo Nui!
I received this bag almost a week ago and it has been my go to over everything else. I an in love with the palaka pattern and the history. I get so many compliments for this bag. The quality is amazing and the size is perfect, the crossbody strap and carry-on slide are game changing! Thank you for putting so much aloha and passion into your products.
The first time I saw an advertisement for this bag, I immediately knew I'd be purchasing one for myself and my mother-in-law. I love, Love, LOVE Puakenikeni flowers, and the fact they are intertwined with beautiful scripture made it that much more beautiful. The bag is of excellent quality and it's large enough to carry all my essentials. I love having multiple pockets and the band to slip over a carryon bag is genius. My mother-in-law has an upcoming trip and is excited to use hers as well. I will absolutely be keeping my eyes open for new patterns and designs for future gifts.
Red is absolutely my color! The picnic table cover and food tote are exactly what we needed for a pot luck and picnics on Sundays! The bag included is perfection!
Love my t-shirts!!
