About Kaohinani

Hi, I’m Louise and I run Kaohinani from our base in Brighton, UK. For the past few years I’ve been searching out the best ways to bring you ethical, planet-friendly clothing at a fair price. I started my journey on Depop, picking up the most colourful clothes from charity shops and car boots, spending hours trawling through the rails to find a hidden gem. Nowadays my stock comes from artisan suppliers all over the world! The clothes we stock are carefully sourced from vetted suppliers whose workers are paid a fair wage for their craft. These clothes are crafted from quality materials, there’s no fast fashion here! Where possible, we like to use recycled materials for our products, lessening our impact on the planet and it’s resources. You’ll find many of our clothes have lived a past life, for example our sari smocks and bell sleeved tops are made from stunning jewel-toned vintage sari fabric. We use pretty preloved Kantha blankets (already upcycled from cotton saris) for our beautiful Kantha jackets. Alongside supplying you with beautiful, well made, colourful clothes we are commited to helping to fight climate change, poverty, gender inequality, racial inequality and injustice through choosing suppliers that adhere to The Principles Of Fair Trade whenever we can.Read their story
