Aloha,
I’m Iolani, the founder and heart behind Kūle’a Kollective, which is inspired by my late grandmother’s strength, wisdom, enduring spirit of Aloha and her love for the beauty of Palaka.
Palaka takes me back to my childhood memories of the good ‘ole days; growing up at my grandparents Nānākuli homestead hale, making the trek to the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet every Sunday with my grandma and all of my cousins. My grandma would buy all of her mo’opuna matching Palaka outfits for all and any occasion. It was a family tradition. Every Sunday. All happy and wonderful heartfelt memories!
Now, a māmā of 3, I’ve continued some of these traditions with my own ‘Ohana. While my children never had the chance to meet their great grandma, I created this brand as a way to connect them- and all of us- to spark a sense of nostalgia, blending simplicity and authenticity, to honor the traditions that connects us to our Kupuna’s legacy.
This journey is more than just a business—it’s a tribute to my roots, honoring grandma, a celebration of heritage, and a legacy I hope to leave for my Keiki.

I hope that our products will connect you to your happy youth! To me, it’s more than just a product, it’s a feeling!
Mahalo nui for being part of this journey as we celebrate the threads that bind us all.
