about us

the beginning:

Denise established her handbag and accessory line in 2001. It began with a piece of vintage fabric her Aunt Marie in Honolulu lovingly handed down to her. Denise whipped up a handbag and soon women around town were asking where they could get one.

The owner of the super stylish boutique Shasa Emporium, in Kahala Mall, discovered the bags and immediately placed an order for her shop (mahalo Sharon - we love ya !!).......and we've been running to keep up ever since.

*the process:

Our designs are handcrafted in Hawaii with aloha. We use new and vintage fabrics, buttons, handles and trims. We love that the vintage fabrics have a history - a story to tell. Each design is unique and the vintage pieces are one-of-a-kind treasures. We hope they will be cherished for generations.

*the inspiration:

nature, art, movies, music, city life, our children's faces

*the motivation:

we believe mixing unusual prints and colors will make you happy

we believe fashion is art

we believe in giving back

we believe in reduce, reuse and refashion

we believe beauty is all around

we believe you can never have too many handbags
