LANI'S General Store
"LANI" in the Hawaiian language means "Heaven".
Born in Los Angeles and raised in Tokyo, I worked for a local apparel brand in Hawaii in my 20s. After that, I returned to Tokyo and my passion for making clothes and love for Hawaii fostered my dream of establishing an original brand.
In 2017, I was approached by the owner of a sewing factory in Honolulu that was going out of business, and I purchased all the sewing machines and machinery from her and took over the sewing business.
"LANI" in the Hawaiian language means "Heaven". In the spring of 2018, we started LANI'S General Store (Heaven's General Store), a shop attached to our sewing factory, with the mission of revitalizing Hawaii's sewing industry, which is in decline, and developing original clothing made in Hawaii. This concept is the origin of the brand "LANI'S General Store".
