About the Founder

Roselani Suyat Aiwohi founded Waiwaolani. She wanted to combine her love for Hawai’i & it's culture with cute, comfortable clothing made for everyday wear. Her mission is to bring more attention to native Forests, native Hawaiian plants and watersheds by creating beautiful clothing printed with native Hawaiian plants. She was born on Molokaʻi and raised on Maui, with a deep appreciation and love for her home. In her adulthood, she has realized the responsibility native Hawaiians have to protect the resources that are vital to sustenance not just now but for many generations to come. It is the mission of Waiwaolani to give back to our kaiāulu (community), to support the protection, conservation and survival of our native ecosystems with the hopes that we can together, make small but effective changes.
