Founded by a mixed-race native-Hawaiian woman-artist, Pūko’a Studios works to perpetuate Hawaiian culture with authenticity and integrity.  We not only dedicate ourselves to reducing our footprint on the planet by observing Hawaiian values of aloha aina, mālama aina, and ike kupuna, loving the earth, caring for the earth, and honoring ancestral knowledge, we also strive to educate those in our community and beyond in these practices and values. A business run by a handful of indigenous women, we fight against both humanitarian and environmental injustices done every day. Making kapa is innately sustainable as it is made from native Hawaiian plants and native Hawaiian growing and processing practices. If we don't use native Materials, we are committed to using natural, organic, locally sourced materials whenever possible.  All other tools and materials are vigorously vetted for social ethicality and environmentally responsible shipping and production practices.
