KĀKOU

pronoun, We; spoken of more than two including the speaker and the persons addressed

For the Kākou Collective ‘ohana, “its a Kākou Thing” is a sentiment similar to: its a team effort or we do all things together. This is the mindset we like to have in all aspects of what we do, embodying mindfulness, and the concept that our actions impact everyone - even those who are not directly present or around us.

our mission

CELEBRATING OUR IDENTITY

HAWAIIAN QUILT

Hawaiian quilts (kapa kuiki) blend cultural motifs with quilting techniques introduced by 19th-century missionaries. The Kakou Collective's founder has a yearly tradition of creating a new kapa kuiki design to symbolize personal growth or significant plants. One of these designs evolved into the company's current logo, connecting traditional art with modern branding.
