About Hoʻonui Designs
Hoʻonui Designs is rooted in the Kaulana Mahina, inspired by the phases of the moon and the rhythm of Hawaiian life. Each piece is handmade with aloha and intention, created to grow with you and carry your story for generations.
“Aloha, my name is Kilinahe, the hands and heart behind Hoʻonui Designs. I was raised on the wind and rain of ʻOahu, Hawaiʻi. Sewing has become my way to weave story, culture, and aloha into everyday life. I fell in love with sewing and creating because it helps to ground me and share my love in the form of creating for the community. Each piece I make carries the rhythm of the Kaulana Mahina, reflecting growth, reflection, and intention. Beyond the fabric and stitches, Hoʻonui is my way of connecting—sharing Hawaiian values, honoring tradition, and creating heirloom pieces meant to last through generations.
”
The mahina teaches us that each phase is valuable, from the beginnings to the fullness and the quiet moments in between. Our designs are made with that same understanding. Every stitch carries intention, and every piece reflects the cycles of life and the love that grounds us.
