ALOHA Collection, maker of Splash-Proof® Bags

April 3, 2021

Our founders, Rachael Leina‘ala and Heather Aiu, launched ALOHA Collection in the summer of 2014 with a single bag, a shared dream, and a Kickstarter campaign. Today, our Splash-Proof® bags can be found all over the world. When you travel with ALOHA Collection, you’re not just packing a bag, you’re joining an ‘ohana that shares a passion for travel, adventure, and sharing ALOHA around the globe. Whether you’re running through airports, island-hopping, riding the subway, or catching waves, you’ll always know an instant friend when you spot an ALOHA bag along the way!

From beach to bar and workout to weekend, we have a bag for every occasion. Made of a lightweight, technical material our bags are Splash-Proof®, easy to clean, and are perfect for everyday organizing in-home or on the go.

So hop on board as we share ALOHA Collection’s guide to Oʻahu! From the Diamond Head to Haleiwa, we’re letting you in on all our favorite stops. Pack your bags and get ready to explore Oʻahu, ALOHA style!
