Onepaʻa Hawaiʻi X Waiwai Collective Present ALOHA ʻALEʻALE
ALOHA ʻALEʻALE – Love for the Ocean, Fashion for the Future.
Celebrate Love. Celebrate Change.
This Valentine’s-Eve, join us for ALOHA ʻALEʻALE, a unique shopping experience in collaboration with Waiwai Collective in Mōʻiliʻili. This special event honors the connection between ʻohana, the ocean, and thoughtful choices in fashion. Together, we’ll explore how small, intentional decisions - like what we wear - can create meaningful waves of change for our environment and future generations.
This evening is a celebration of love in its many forms: love for each other, love for our planet, love for innovative ideas, and love for the mokupuni (island) that inspires and sustains us. Be among the first to experience Onepaʻa Hawaiʻi’s newest collection, Ka Pō Hiwa, crafted with respect for the traditions that connect us to Hawaiʻi and a vision for a cleaner, healthier ocean.
Event Highlights Include:
The Ripple Zone: A thoughtfully curated space for our youngest guests, The Ripple Zone features shopping racks at child height with visuals designed to teach kids about responsible shopping habits. This area inspires our Little Reef Keepers to understand their connection to the ocean and the importance of protecting marine life through thoughtful decisions. Together, we can nurture the next generation of environmental stewards.
ʻAwa & Fresh Bouquets: Locally sourced ʻawa and blooms for sale from talented vendors.
Valentine’s Gifts with Purpose: Show love to your cherished relationships and to the ocean, where sunlight fuels life and pollution threatens the very oxygen we breathe.
Connection and Inspiration: Meet like-minded individuals who care deeply about the future of our oceans and ʻohana. Immerse yourself in the values behind responsible sourcing in fashion.
