The Kūkolu Retail Pop-Up features culture manifested in products representative of the Indigenous women entrepreneurs and their communities.
Ka Ua Company, Kaulumaika, B.Alia and Punky Aloha are all represented in this collection of curated home goods, apparel, accessories, jewelry and original artwork.
Not only can the audience shop the products but they can discover the inspiration behind each piece by the artists themselves.
Among the items are custom embroidery, personalized cups and unique apparel handcrafted on Maui; the exclusive debut of a lei print collection; and a limited edition, locally-inspired holiday wrapping paper that is the result of a collaboration with B.Alia, Kaulumaika and Punky Aloha.
"This event showcases the work of talented Indigenous artists and offers a one-of-a-kind holiday shopping experience," Kūkolu founder Kanakolu Noa told KHON2.
The community will be welcomed in from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
