About Us

Aloha mai kākou fashion enthusiasts! Welcome to our little corner of the internet here at Niu Collective, where two people with a passion for sustainability and uniqueness have come together to create something truly special. We may not take ourselves too seriously, but when it comes to crafting stylish and functional accessories, we mean business!

Picture this: the sun-kissed shores of Maui, a tropical paradise where the waves crash and the palm trees sway. It's in this laid-back island vibe that our idea and company was born making our journey begin. We wanted to bring a touch of that Hawaiian charm to your everyday life, and what better way to do it than through our unique collection of biodegradable coconut leather bags, wallets, and ear rings?

Now, we're not talking about your average run-of-the-mill bags and wallets here. Oh no, we've got something much more exciting in store for you. Each item is hand made with aloha here on the island of Maui. None of that designed in Hawaii or California, throwing some Hawaii print on it, but actually made overseas monkey business. We use a vegan coconut leather that is all natural and biodegradable with a linen/cotton thread. Our material lasts 4-8 years with proper care and at the end of the materials usable life, just toss it in the garden and within a few months it will decompose and become part of the earth once more! Who knew a humble coconut could double as a fashion statement? We did, of course!

Our idea has been in the making for a few years now and we can't even put into words how excited we are that we are finally able to provide our products to the world! Founded in early 2024, we chose Niu Collective as our name because firstly niu means coconut in Hawaiian which is the heart of our material, and secondly, from the making of the material to the boxing and shipping, it is one collective effort and would not happen without everyone involved. We overcame many obstacles to get to where we are including most recently with the fires on Maui. Our members are residents of Lahaina and have been displaced, lost homes, and have had to start our lives over again. This company is proof we can overcome the odds, build something new together, and grow with Lahaina and Maui.

Now that you've heard our story, it's time for you to embark on your own adventure. Explore our collection, find the bag or wallet that speaks to your soul, and let it accompany you on all your journeys - big or small.

Mahalo nui loa and a hui hou!
