NEW COLLECTION: Mauna Kahālāwai
The stories of our ʻāina are not lost, they are simply waiting to be heard. They flow in the wai from the mountain to the sea, and we believe our clothes should carry these stories, too.
This is the voice of the mountain, where our Mauna Kahālāwai Collection begins. It is a tribute to the nearly extinct Cyanea Heluensis, a solitary survivor on the high peaks that whispers of a sacred past. This is the first chapter of our mauka to makai journey, a living narrative that flows downward, meeting the life restored at the shores of Māla in our Unahi Wai Collection.
Our kuleana is our promise to this ʻāina. We chose TENCEL™, a sustainable fiber not just for its softness and graceful drape, but as a deliberate act of mālama ʻāina. It is a fabric that holds this sacred story and a promise to return to the earth without harm.
This is more than a collection. This is a beginning, a reconnection, and a living piece of history.

ABOUT US
Aloha, I’m Courtney, the founder of Henōhea.
I’m a proud Native Hawaiian from Lahaina, with my 'ohana’s roots running deep—over 10 generations strong. I’m also a wife and mom to three amazing boys. In addition to my Hawaiian heritage, I’m a proud Filipina granddaughter of a Sakada, one of the first Filipino workers who arrived in Hawaii in the early 1900s to work on the sugar plantations.
Henōhea was born out of heartbreak and hope. After years of infertility struggles, we were blessed with an unexpected miracle in the aftermath of the Lahaina fire when we learned we were expecting our son. As the fire took much of our history, I began sketching designs to preserve the memories and stories that were lost. Those sketches became the foundation of Henōhea.
Henōhea is more than just a brand—it’s a love letter to Lahaina, a symbol of resilience, and an invitation to join in the healing.

Help Maui Rise: Supporting Our Community’s Recovery
At Henōhea, we believe in the strength of our community. That’s why 5% of our proceeds go to support those affected by the Lahaina fires through theHelp Maui Rise initiative. Your purchase helps provide immediate support to families working to rebuild and find hope.
