behind the brand
Aloha, I'm Keani
Founder of Keani Hawai‘i | Designer | Mama | Dreamer
I’m the woman behind the scenes — usually with coffee in one hand and 47 tabs open in my brain.
Keani Hawai‘i began as a humble handmade jewelry line I started at home in 2011—while raising babies, dreaming big, and working late into the night. I had no investors, just passion, creativity, and a desire to bring a little more beauty into the world.
What started with my first Mermaid Scales collection has grown into a multi-store fashion brand rooted here in Maui—with three boutique locations and a thriving online store.
I didn’t build this brand to chase trends. I built it because I believe what we wear affects how we show up. I wanted women to feel seen, celebrated, and strong—not just through fashion, but in their own lives.
Now, after 14 years of creating and growing, I’m stepping back into the heart of this brand to share more of the story behind the style—faith, motherhood, reinvention, burnout, beauty, and what it means to keep showing up.
Whether you're shopping with us for the first time or you’ve been on this journey with me from the beginning—welcome. I’m so grateful you’re here. 🤍

Love this necklace! I bought the puka chandeliers last year and wanted to get the matching necklace. The necklace has a nice weight and the puka is a perfect size. Very happy that I added [the Puka Threader] to my collection!

Wore [the Leilani] dress for a beach photoshoot and it was 100% the best choice! Felt beautiful and the dress was flowy yet the tasteful plunging neck line added a little sex appeal. Highly recommend this style in all patterns! This is my 3rd :)

We were so happy to have been able to come into the Maui store at The Shops and have a great experience! The rings are great quality and they have withstood the test of kids, day to day, and all of the in between moments. The service was also amazing!

Beautiful dress! I love the material [of the Larch Dress] and how it flows. Very flattering fit. But I’m biased as I love everything I buy from Keani!!!
