BEHIND THE NAME
Missing Polynesia isn’t just a name — it’s a feeling, a calling, and a reminder of home. The word “missing” captures the longing we feel when we’re away from our islands, our culture, and the traditions that shape us. “Polynesia” speaks to the heart of that connection — the islands, people, and heritage woven across the Pacific.
At its heart, Missing Polynesia is about creating something original and beautiful with the Polynesian spirit — a reminder and a gift for those who are truly “missing the islands".

ABOUT MISSING POLYNESIA
Our journey began from humble beginnings — first at the International Marketplace and later at the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet, where we proudly shared our designs with the community. In those early days, we set up simple booths, met customers face-to-face, and watched with gratitude as people connected with our pieces. Little by little, we grew, moving from swap meets, traveling to the mainland (California, Nevada etc.) events and trade shows, each step bringing us closer to where we are today.
Today, we’re proud to offer our latest creations and designs, all crafted by our talented designer.Missing Polynesia isn’t just a stylish reminder of South Pacific culture; it’s a state of mind and appreciation that we share with each of our customers. With a unique take on Polynesian clothing, we also hope to bring that sense of style and originality into other products like jewelry, hats and home decor items that you won't find anywhere else. It's our pleasure to create something original and beautiful with the Polynesian spirit. Sending a reminder and gift to those that are "Missing the islands"
Our MISSION is to spread art, Aloha, South Pacific culture stories and design.
As a family-owned business based in Honolulu, our passion for Polynesian fashion and decor is at the heart of everything we do. While we continue to explore and learn about the diverse cultures of the Pacific, we've created a line of products inspired by such rich traditions, cultural landscapes and stories that create the people of the pacific.
