About Us
Our Story
At Kāholo Manufacturing Co., our mission is simple: to bring apparel manufacturing back to Hawaiʻi by empowering local designers, artists, and small businesses. We’re here to help you turn your ideas into thoughtfully made, island-rooted products — with aloha at every stitch. The name Kāholo holds dual meaning. In Hawaiian, it means “to sew with a long stitch,” but it also refers to a hula step — a movement forward. That’s the essence of what we do: we move ideas forward and stitch dreams into reality.
