About us
Happy Wahine was born from the passion of Nancy, a graduate of UH Manoa, where she studied Fashion and Business, with the support of her husband, Roland. Together, they combined their love for Hawaii with a desire to empower women and celebrate the beauty of the islands.
Nancy, inspired by the vibrant culture and nature around her, wanted to design a brand that captured the essence of Hawaii while making women feel joyful, strong, and confident. She traveled across the islands, studying traditional motifs and immersing herself in local values of gratitude and harmony. This connection with the land and culture became the foundation of Happy Wahine.
The brand's first collection featured handbags and accessories that combined island-inspired colors and designs with practicality, reflecting the needs of modern women. Today, Happy Wahine continues to empower women worldwide, offering practical lifestyle items with unique Hawaiian designs, while supporting local employment and the economy. Each product serves as a reminder of the Aloha Spirit and the inner strength of every Wahine.
