Every trip home to the islands reminds me of how lucky and proud I am to be a Hawaiian kid. I was born and raised on O‘ahu and each visit home makes me long for the next one. I ask myself if I’m ready to head back {it’s really only been a couple of years}. With this recent trip home I stocked up on local snacks {in addition to my feeding frenzy while there} and omiyage for friends. Along with that I brought two shirts that were made locally. I wished that I had remembered to find some of these fabulous shirts by Organik that I’ve had my eye on and will just have to place my order online.
Brian and Ed, the guys behind Organik, use sustainable, organic and recycled materials in their collection such as bamboo or natural rubber. The designs are all reminiscent of beach life and the pieces look super comfortable and wearable. Here are some items from their Summer 2010 line…
And you know I want these…
These are of a limited edition featuring their “swallowtail” design. They are fair trade made from natural rubber and are biodegradable.
Alright, who wants to go to the beach now?
ps – there’s also a sale going on at the shop.

Awww..I’m from Hawaii too and each time I go home, I always think about just staying. But there’s just something to comforting about San Francisco that allows me to call this place home too. <3
I can only imagine how amazing living and growing up in Hawaii must have been! I visited once a long time ago and it was just unreal – so beautiful and lush!! I was ready to move then and there :) (btw…love the flip flops from this shop…gotta check it out!)
