History

Established in 2012.

A little bit about why we are starting Makana …

* The «value» of creative producers.

Creative producers are the most critical members of our community. Whether art, culinary products, design, or media producers, these folks facilitate our connection with the unique culture and environment of Hawaii. Makana will bring Hawaii producers and artists to a global audience, strengthening the local creative community and the unique character of Hawaii that we value so much.

* A connection to home.

We know there are many Hawaiians and kama’aina living away. Whether you’re in college, working or retired, you probably miss Hawaii and would love a monthly reminder of home. Makana sends memories of Hawaii through beloved food, novelty items, and discovery of new creative product.

* Grassroots economic development.

We know you can find Hawaii things outside of our islands. But a lot of products are built on images of Hawaii and not made here. Makana invests in our truly local economy — buy
