Made in Hawaiʻi.

Built here.
Backed here.
For four days, the Hawaiʻi Convention Center became a gathering place for the people who make things here. More than 800 local vendors filled the Made in Hawaiʻi Festival with food, fashion, music and art. Every table carried somebody's risk, work and story.
As a small business, we know what it means when the community chooses local. Every conversation at our booth, every familiar face and every person who brought a piece home helped AVVA keep building in Hawaiʻi. We left grateful for the brands beside us and the people who continue to show up for all of us.
Field Report · What We Brought
The first look at Hawaiian Airlines × AVVA.
Before the full collection came back online, the Hawaiian Airlines tee made an early stop at the festival. It was a chance to place Pualani directly into the hands of the people who grew up flying her.
Hawaiian Airlines has carried our families, teams and boards away from home and brought us safely back. Sharing this collection in a room full of Hawaiʻi businesses made the moment feel complete.
“A special opportunity for our community to celebrate one of Hawaiʻi's most beloved brands and stand Pualani Proud.”
