Hāpuʻu Designs is a collaboration between Sade and her friend Mikioi—not a homegrown Post Nautical project, but one we're proud to feature here.
Two friends from Kauaʻi formed the company in 2022 when they realized they could not find locally designed, culturally minded products for infants and toddlers that reflected authentic imagery of Hawaiʻi. Their name and logo were inspired by the hāpuʻu, Cibotium glaucum, a native Hawaiian tree fern. Poetically translated, hāpuʻu can mean a child or baby in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi. Their mission is to create engaging learning products inspired by unique island culture and storied history.
They build around values that resonate with us: Ulu Pono—to grow well; ʻOhana—family and connection to Hawaiʻi; Alu Like Mai—work in unity; ʻImi ʻIke—to seek knowledge. We're excited to share their story and their work.
